Hundreds of people were left stranded by a breakdown of services on the Dubai Metro yesterday, it was reported on Saturday.
The train services ran intermittently for close to four hours on Friday night, between 5 and 9pm, UAE daily Gulf News reported.
This left passengers disrupted, many of whom were stuck on trains.
Some of the passengers who found themselves stuck on the train at Iftar time ended their fast together by sharing their groceries, Gulf News added.
According to the Khaleej Times daily, RTA spokesman Peyman Younes Parham said that the delays were caused when some passengers pushed emergency buttons, resulting in trains automatically stopping at the nearest station.

Commuters warned against misusing Metro
....Anyone who pushes the emergency button if there is no real emergency will face a Dh2,000 fine, warned the RTA. For added emphasis, only something of the nature of a life-threatening situation on board the train would be taken for a 'real emergency'.
A real emergency means if someone is in a life-threatening situation on board the train.
