On Saturday afternoon, a commotion arose on a train heading towards Elliniko when several young people pulled the emergency lever located near the doors shortly after the train departed from Syntagma station. This safety mechanism was activated, causing the train to slow down but not come to a complete stop between stations.

After the incident, the train continued its journey and arrived safely at the Acropolis station where passengers were instructed to disembark and could continue their journey on the next train. Fortunately, no injuries or significant disruptions were reported, although the actions of the individuals raised concerns about safety protocols and the behavior of young passengers on public transport.

Authorities may need to review measures that prevent such incidents in the future, as activating the emergency lever unnecessarily can cause delays and heighten risks for all passengers. Such incidents prompt discussions about the responsibilities of young individuals and the importance of adhering to safety standards in public transportation environments.
