São Paulo metro station reopens after bomb scare at Higienópolis-Mackenzie

The Higienópolis-Mackenzie station on São Paulo's Line 4-Yellow metro was closed Saturday night, October 3, due to a suspected bomb threat, prompting a police response. The station reopened at 10:50 PM after authorities found no danger. Police and the GATE tactical unit inspected an object left near the fare gate line. During the closure, PAESE emergency buses served passengers, while trains bypassed the station. The object was determined to be a harmless suitcase, and no suspicious items were found. Other stations on Line 4-Yellow, from Luz to Vila Sônia, operated normally throughout the incident. Concessionaire Motiva confirmed the GATE completed its inspection, normalizing train service and ending the emergency operation.
