The MTR has banned passengers from carrying flammable liquids into train compartments. However, yesterday (April 11), a middle-aged man was seen in a train car on the Tuen Ma Line, allegedly sniffing a bottle of thinner. When other passengers intervened to stop him, a confrontation ensued, and the man was eventually subdued and taken away by police.
A netizen posted in a Facebook group stating, "There was a fight at Tai Shui Hang Station on the Tuen Ma Line, causing delays in train services!"
It is reported that the arrested man has a habit of using thinner. Around noon, he boarded the train at Sha Tin Wai Station carrying a bottle of thinner and opened it to sniff. A male passenger confronted him, leading to a dispute, during which three other male passengers helped subdue him.
When the train arrived at Tai Shui Hang Station, two MTR staff members boarded to investigate.
The police stated that at 11:51 AM on Friday, they received a report from MTR staff at Tai Shui Hang Station, indicating that someone was holding a suspected corrosive liquid in the train car. A 47-year-old man surnamed Chan was arrested and is currently in custody.
