Olivia Rodrigo fans stuck after vandals trigger Melbourne train station evacuations
Police are hunting for what's believed to be two offenders who forced the evacuation of two Melbourne CBD railway stations overnight.
It's thought the two unknown people gained access to a stairwell connecting platforms at Melbourne Central station and damaged a fire sprinkler at about 10.40pm.
The pair then fled the scene.

Several platforms were flooded, which triggered an evacuation of the Melbourne Central and Flagstaff stations.
This in turn caused significant delays across Melbourne's underground rail network.
The delays affected big crowds trying to get home from the Oliva Rodrigo concert at Rod Laver Arena.
