Prague police evacuated the city's main railway station on Tuesday morning after receiving an anonymous bomb threat, disrupting rail and metro services across the capital. The alert was reported shortly before 08:00 on 14 July, prompting authorities to clear the building and launch a pyrotechnic search.

Metro Line C trains stopped serving the station before 07:45, and rail traffic was halted at 08:20. The station was fully cleared within half an hour of the announcement.

Wilsonova Street, which runs alongside the station, was closed from 08:45 for up to two hours as police cordoned off the area. No arrests or further details on the threat have been disclosed.
