To run into somebody ā to accidentally meet somebody that you didnāt expect to meet. It can be somebody you already know, or a mixture of people, some of whom introduce you to new people.
To stumble upon something ā to accidentally find something that is interesting. You might stumble upon an old photograph that you had forgotten about; or you might stumble upon an interesting shop that you didnāt know about.
