BART's 19th Street station reopened at 7:30 p.m., about 30 minutes after what Oakland police described as "a crowd control situation'' downtown forced the station to close, according to a BART spokesman.

The spokesman said the same crowd that forced the 19th Street station closure had started to cause problems around 6 p.m. near the 12th Street station. It was closed for a short time as well.

No BART delays were reported.

An Oakland police spokesman had no further details on the situation.
