Neither the Dubai Police nor the Roads and Transport Authority gave any reason for the evacuation at 8am, which left the escalators shut down. People were asked to leave the station and the barriers were closed, though it was reopened after the evacuation.

Two hurt in crash

Meanwhile, the Dubai Police said on Twitter that two Indian men were seriously injured in a road crash on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road on Sunday night.

The accident involving three cars took place on the road opposite Global Village in the direction of Abu Dhabi.

The driver and the passenger of one car sustained injuries, while the others escaped uninjured.

The Dubai Police said three lanes had been closed after the accident and advised road users to drive with caution.
