Overview

• Around 4 p.m. on July 9, a man in crisis climbed a high-voltage support pole between Guelatao and Peñón Viejo stations, halting Metro Line A for over an hour.
• Negotiators from the Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana and Cuerpo de Bomberos de la Ciudad de México spent more than an hour persuading him to descend.
• After power was cut to the line for safety, the individual voluntarily descended onto a train roof and was taken into custody.
• Metro CDMX gradually restored Line A service to normal operations following the suspension.
• The Sistema de Transporte Colectivo said it will seek sanctions over the power shutdown and urged commuters to obey staff instructions during emergencies.
