A 16-year-old boy has been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage after he allegedly used his hand to prevent an MTR train door from closing at Wan Chai station, police have said.
The force said on Sunday it had received a report from an MTR staff member at 3.20pm the day before and arrested the teenager, of non-Chinese descent, in Hung Hom after a review of surveillance camera footage.
The boy remains in custody for investigation.
Police warned that criminal damage could lead to a 10-year jail term upon conviction and urged residents to respect the law.

According to the MTR, the incident occurred at around 3.10pm at Wan Chai station, affecting a train heading towards Chai Wan.
“A passenger allegedly tampered with the doors and prevented them from shutting until the train reached Causeway Bay. All passengers were evacuated, and the train was sent to the depot for a thorough inspection,” a spokesman said.
“The MTR corporation strongly condemns such behaviour, which endangers train operation and passenger safety.”
