Hong Kong police investigate viral video showing man leaping between MTR platforms

A six-second clip shows a man jumping between platforms at Fo Tan MTR station, with more than 100,000 views on Instagram. Police say two men were suspected to have breached MTR by-laws, but no arrests were made. The East Rail line is the last MTR service without automatic platform screen gates to prevent commuters from falling onto the tracks. Commuters have died or suffered injuries after falling onto the tracks over the years, with train services also disrupted.
