Hong Kong MTR train scuffle Photo: YouTube

Five people were arrested by Hong Kong police for allegedly fighting in a public area after a child from mainland China allegedly stepped on a Hong Kong passenger’s foot in a packed MTR carriage on Sunday.

According to a video sent by a passenger surnamed Chong to Apple Daily, she boarded the train at Wong Tai Sin MTR Station at around 3:20pm heading to Tsim Sha Tsui and saw five people including a couple from Hong Kong and a mainland Chinese family arguing.

It is understood that a girl from a mainland Chinese family stepped on the foot of a local woman. The woman and her boyfriend demanded an apology but the request was turned down.

Police identified the Hong Kong couple as a man surnamed Yeung and a woman surnamed Chan, both aged 27. The mainlanders were a husband and wife surnamed Wang, 31 and 28, who were accompanied by the husband’s 54-year-old mother, surnamed Liu, and a young girl believed to be the couple’s daughter, news website HK01.com reported.

The video showed the five people yelling at each other. Yeung was heard explaining to the family that it was the little girl who had stepped on someone and that that was not right. He then reportedly tried to end the argument.

However, all of a sudden, a fight broke out in the middle of the carriage, causing the little girl and other passengers to scream.

The fight stopped when they arrived in Tsim Sha Tsui Station. Police arrested all five people for allegedly fighting in a public area. All of them suffered injuries to their heads, faces and hands, but all refused to be taken to hospital for treatment.

  1. Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  2. Unquestionably imagine that that you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the web the simplest factor to consider of. I say to you, I definitely get irked even as other folks think about concerns that they just don’t recognize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and defined out the entire thing without having side-effects , folks could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thank you

  3. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
    You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos
    to your site when you could be giving us something informative to
    read?

  4. Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole
    my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a
    youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.
    I know this is completely off topic but I had to
    share it with someone!
