On 10 December 1985, a unit of the Manuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front assaulted the ticket offices and detonated two kilograms of explosives behind a train in the station.^[3][4]

The station remained closed between 19 October and 11 November 2019 due to the mass fare evasion events that affected it during the protests triggered by the metro fare increase.^[5]
