The Dubai Metro faced a 'technical malfunction' on Sunday evening.
The train headed towards Damac Properties Metro Station and stopped at Nakheel Metro Station where it changed tracks. Passengers were asked to alight from the train. Commuters travelling to the Ibn Battuta and DMCC Metro stations were advised to switch between platforms 2 and 4 and take the train to their intended destinations. 
Barricades were put up as the station staff expertly marshalled crowds towards the correct platform so they could complete their journeys.
"The RTA announces a technical malfunction on the #DubaiMetro Red Line between Nakheel and DMCC Stations, which is currently being fixed by the team," the RTA said in a statement.

"Please cooperate with the Metro station staff by following their instructions when travelling between the stations. We regret the inconvenience caused."
