Police responded to reports a man was making loud, threatening comments at the Ōrākei Train Station in Auckland just before 1pm today, July 3, prior to boarding a south-bound train.
Police established the train had continued towards Ōtāhuhu where the train was stopped and searched by officers.
Further information alerted police that the subject of the report had exited earlier at Glen Innes.
“Police have spoken to a person in the Glen Innes area and are reassuring the public there’s no cause for concern,” a spokesperson says.
“Police must take these reports seriously and officers were armed as a precaution.
“A thorough inspection of the train was carried out and police thank the public and Auckland Transport for their help in safely resolving this matter.”
Enquiries are continuing.
