Metro de Santiago closed for more than ten minutes this Tuesday afternoon the Child Protection Station of Line 4, in Puente Alto, due to “disturbances” in the outskirts.
It is one of the last stations in the network to reopen, along with Trinidad, after the series of massive attacks that affected the capital train on the night of October 18 last year.
People interrupted traffic in the sector, installing barricades and lighting bonfires. A similar demonstration was also recorded in the Plaza de Puente Alto.
The closing action was also taken by the company after 8:00 pm at the accesses to lines 1 and 5 at Baquedano station “due to demonstrations abroad.”
On the other hand, Tren Central also reported barricades in the Lo Valledor sector, in Pedro Aguirre Cerda, which generated longer travel times for service users.
The Plaza Baquedano sector also gathered demonstrations and the Ministry of Transport reported traffic diversions in the Alameda Providencia axis and Vicuña Mackenna avenue.
Transantiago bus operators, meanwhile, reported preventive deviations on approach routes.
Four consecutive days of demonstrations in different parts of the capital have been registered after the episode that occurred on October 2 on the Pío Nono bridge, when a 16-year-old adolescent ended up being rescued by protesters from the waters of the Mapocho River after having fallen from seven meters high during an “onslaught” by the Carabineros Public Order Control Prefecture, due to incidents in the place.
Carabinero Sebastián Zamora was formalized by the attempted murder of the teenager, with the initials AJAA, that he had to be hospitalized at the Santa María Clinic. On Saturday there were demonstrations outside the health center and other points, protests that also took place on Sunday and Monday.
