Hong Kong police have arrested a man for allegedly assaulting two people in a railway station, including a 59-year-old staff member who fractured a right rib after intervening in the situation.
A police source said on Tuesday the 46-year-old man, who suffered from depression and had follow-up appointments at hospital, was experiencing cramps while sitting on the platform at Sham Shui Po MTR station.
Another male passenger tried to help but was kicked five or six times and forcefully pushed away.
“Subsequently, the man continuously walked in and out of the train carriage into the platform, obstructing the closing of the train doors,” the insider said. “The incident resulted in a 10-minute delay in the train service.”
The source added the female MTR Corporation staff member tried to persuade the man to stop, but she was splashed with a soft drink and kicked, resulting in the fracture.
An off-duty police officer and firefighter witnessed the incident and subdued the man who was later arrested, the insider said.
The man, claiming to have a headache, was taken to Caritas Medical Centre for treatment. The case was classified as wounding and assigned to the force’s district criminal investigation team for investigation.
A video circulating online purportedly of the incident shows the suspect carrying a soft drink in his hand walking between a train carriage and the platform. When two MTR staff members approach him, he hits and kicks the female employee in the abdomen, and she cries in pain, clutching her injured area while leaning against a railing.
The man again enters the carriage, ignoring a male passenger who seeks to block him, prompting passengers to quickly flee.
The MTR Corp said an employee at Sham Shui Po station had received a passenger’s request for help, indicating that someone on the platform was feeling unwell. An employee responded and found the man exhibiting signs of emotional distress, while another male passenger reported being attacked, the company said.
“The staff immediately notified the control centre, calling police and ambulance services for assistance. A female staff member sustained an injury while handling the situation,” a spokesman said.
