An operational incident on one train is believed to be the cause. Passengers opened the doors and walked along the rails to the nearest station. The evacuation of the blocked trains ended at 9:30 p.m. This incident sparked numerous reactions on social networks, particularly Twitter , where several stranded users expressed their dissatisfaction due to the lack of rapid intervention by the RATP agents and the temperature approaching 35 °C . Traffic resumed around 10:15 p.m. , very disrupted. The RATP announced the opening of an internal investigation.<ref>https://www.lepoint.fr/societe/incident-exceptionnel-sur-la-ligne-4-du-metro-parisien-ce-que-l-on-sait-15-06-2023-2524577_23.php</ref>
