The B line of the Prague metro is currently interrupted after a tragic accident at Křižíkova station.

A blind man in his 50s fell onto the tracks and was fatally struck by an oncoming train. The incident occurred around 5:47 PM, and metro service between Florenc and Českomoravská has been suspended.

An alternative tram service, XB, is now operating between Florenc and Vysočanská. The Prague transport company has not provided an estimated time for when regular metro service will resume.

Emergency services quickly responded to the scene, with rescue teams confirming that the man did not survive his injuries. A medical examiner has been called to the site.

Police spokesman Jan Daněk stated that investigators are working to determine whether the incident was an accident or a suicide. Prague firefighters were also alerted to the scene shortly after 6 PM.

The exact circumstances of the man’s fall are still under investigation.
