===2007 bomb hoax===
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"]. Singapore Police Force (22 August 2007). 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"].

===2008 bomb hoax===
On 29 July 2008, a man made a phone call to the police about a false bomb threat at 1.07pm at the concourse area of the station. The man is believed to be in his 40s and is of fair complexion. He was wearing a blue and white polo T-shirt, beige Bermudas and black slippers. He was seen leaving the MRT station with two plastic bags – one red and the other white.<ref>Channel News Asia, Channel NewsAsia, 30 July 2008, [//web.archive.org/web/20110522081113/www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/363633/1/.html "Police seek info on man who made bomb hoax call from Outram MRT"].

===2012 train disruption===
On 15 March 2012, more than 117,000 commuters were affected during a peak hour train breakdown between {{Stn|Dhoby Ghaut}} and {{Stn|HarbourFront}}, caused by faulty overhead power cables at the tunnel of the Outram Park that had snapped. A second problem was discovered relating to electricity insulation, delaying the service further. Train services resumed at 4.35pm after nearly 12 hours of disruption.<ref>[//web.archive.org/web/20120315105114/www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1189179/1/.html "NEL's Dhoby Ghaut – Habourfront service resumes"].

===2013 train disruption===
On 10 January 2013, train services in both directions on the {{NEL|b=}} was disrupted due to a power fault. At about 9.50am, SBS Transit said no train service is available between {{Stn|HarbourFront}} and Outram Park. Train services fully resumed at 4.35pm.<ref>[//web.archive.org/web/20130112065633/www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1247115/1/.html "NEL services fully resumed at 4:35pm: SBS Transit"].

==Artworks==
*[[File:NE3-Memories.png|300px]]<br>{{NEL}}: ''Memories'' by Wang Lu Sheng<br>The bold colours and graphic elements in this series of paintings are inspired by the surrounding area’s cultural heritage. One of the artworks in this series features a collage of symbols related to Chinese opera, law or medicine which represent visual memories of Outram Park.<ref name='AiT'>[//www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en/getting_around/public_transport/a_better_public_transport_experience/art_in_transit.html "Art in Transit"]. Land Transport Authority.</ref>
*[[File:NE3-Commuters.png|300px]]<br>{{NEL}}: ''Commuters'' by Teo Eng Seng<br>Emerging from and melting into the walls of the station, 69 reliefs of surreal human forms accompany commuters as they make their way through the station. Intended to represent the commuters’ state of mind, these art pieces offer snippets of movement and form, inviting viewers to fill in the blanks. The buildings, landmarks & objects featured in the artwork also serve as a form of wayfinding for the commuters.<ref name='AiT'/>
*{{TEL}}: ''mata-mata'' by Hafiz Osman<br>"Mata" means eye in Malay, and 'mata-mata' refers to a policeman. Both terms inspired this community-generated visual map of the area around Outram Park station, which includes the Police Cantonment Complex located nearby. Members of the public were invited to contribute photos of objects in the neighbourhood. The photos were then jointly converted by the contributors and the artist into drawings. The result is a celebration of the different things that make up this community space beyond just geography. What do we see and remember, and how do we connect them to each other?<ref name='AiT'/>
