A large police operation closed the station on Saturday afternoon. Three hours later, the police said the situation had been resolved.

According to police, a person had told passers-by in front of the station that there was a bomb hidden on the premises.

The person was arrested and will appear in front of a judge on Sunday.

Protocol required the establishment of a security perimeter to assess whether the threat was credible. The road in front of the station was closed to traffic and pedestrians, and all bus and train services were suspended.
