警政署長陳國恩稍後趕往現場，他表示，有旅客帶二十公分爆竹上火車，是否因此引燃造成爆炸起火事件，還要經鑑識小組進一步確認。
行政院也表示，已經掌握並了解台鐵車廂內爆炸事件，院長林全非常關切此事，已請警消儘速前往救援，救助傷患與恢復交通，並請警方儘速釐清與偵辦案情。同時，林全院長立即請交通部長、警政署長、國土安全辦公室副主任前往現場處理，內政部、交通部與衛福部在中央災害應變中心成立緊急應變小組，處理相關救援工作。本意外事件的詳細說明會請相關單位適時對外說明。
同時，因正值臺北市災害應變中心一級開設，由當班輪值指揮官的蘇麗瓊秘書長，於事故發生後，立即指示消防局、衛生局、聯合醫院、市警局等相關局處全力協助救援，消防局吳俊鴻局長亦前往現場指揮。
據指出，故事發生後，現場驚叫連連，許多人受傷都是血，乘客驚慌奔逃，車內滿目瘡痍，全部人都跑往第一節車廂疏散。台鐵沒有跟乘客解釋原因，但懷疑是否機械故障。網友在「爆料公社」po文，「台北往松山的電聯車疑似發生爆炸事件，我朋友本來想在松山上車，結果裡面的人都衝出來說不要上去，已經有不少人燒燙傷。」

台鐵通報，第一時間粗估有5旅客受傷，但後續上修到12男9女 ，共21位傷者，目前已通知消防局及路警處理，旅客已疏散。台鐵表示，1258次旅客先用1262次接駁（間隔15分）。警政署鐵路警察局刻正協同消防單位調查起火原因及相關鑑識勘驗。忠孝醫院並於晚間十一時舉行急診記者會，說明傷者情況，目前了解傷者均為燒燙傷。

TAIPEI - At least 21 people were injured in an explosion last night in a commuter train cabin in Taipei’s Songshan Railway Station, in what is believed to be the first such incident on the island.

The train was travelling from the northwestern city of Hsinchu to the northeastern port city of Keelung, some three hours away.

It is not clear what caused the blast but National Police Agency Director-General Chen Kuo-en told reporters that for now, it is not likely to be a terrorist attack.


Witnesses said they heard three blasts inside the cabin before it burst into flames. They said they saw a man who walked in and left a bag in the cabin moments before the explosion.

A 20cm-long, black object was found on the train seat, according to police. Mr Chen said the object “looked like a firecracker”, reported Central News Agency.

Taipei’s Fire Department said it received a message about the explosion at around 10pm and sent more than 10 ambulances and 10 fire engines to the scene. The fire has been extinguished.

The city’s police officers are on the hunt for the suspect who is still on the run. Eyewitnesses said he is believed to be in his 40s.

Premier Lin Chuan has ordered relevant government agencies to form a team to investigate the explosion and to help the victims get the best medical attention, Cabinet spokesman Tung Chen-yuan said.

Medical staff said one of the 21 who were injured suffered burns on 30 per cent of the body.
