A false bomb threat call was made on 17 August 2007 at 11.16pm from a public phone located at the concourse of the MRT station and the police arrested two suspects on 24th of that month when a 13-year-old boy was turned in by the police while his 15-year-old friend was arrested not long after.<ref>[//web.archive.org/web/20071030222139/www.spf.gov.sg/mic/2007/070822_appeal_bombhoax.htm "Appeal for Information"].

Archived on 30 October 2007.</ref> Upon consultation, the younger of the two was let off with a warning while the older of the two was charged in a Juvenile Court.

===2008 shooting===
The {{NEL|b=}} sector of the station was the site of a rare police shooting incident, in which Lim Bock Song, 43, who had earlier fatally stabbed odd-job worker Tan Ah Chang at a coffeeshop at Jalan Kukoh, was shot by a police officer after threatening the officer with the knife on 6 March 2008 at 3:35pm. Four platform screen doors in the centre in the direction of HarbourFront were affected due to the police cordon which lasted two hours and passengers had to use other doors to board and alight. However, train services were unaffected.<ref>[//web.archive.org/web/20080307150231/www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/333299/1/.html "43-year-old man shot by police at Outram Park MRT"].
