Rome: Rome's main train station was evacuated on Monday evening after railway police said they had received an alert that an armed man had been spotted on a platform.
The railway police reported the alert and evacuation in a message posted on Twitter without specifying whether they had confirmed that a possible shooter was at large.
The Roma Termini station, which includes mainline and urban underground lines, is the biggest in Italy with thousands of passengers, including many tourists, passing through it every day.
