Authorities said unspecified “police activity” caused delays on the Red Line Thursday afternoon.
At 1:19 p.m., the MBTA posted on X that trains were delayed by roughly 25 minutes between the JFK/UMass and North Quincy stations.
At 1:30 p.m., the MBTA said that service was “standing by” due to the law enforcement activity between the two stations.
Shortly before 2 p.m., the MBTA said trains were moving again but with “residual delays” of roughly 20 minutes.
Public safety officials could not be reached for comment. It wasn’t clear if anyone had been hurt or taken into custody.
The incident also affected the commuter rail, causing an outbound train on the Fall River line to run 45 to 55 minutes behind schedule between Holbrook/Randolph and Fall River,“ officials said shortly before 2:30 p.m.
