An agitated young man disrupted railway service and frightened passengers last week in a profanity laced tirade that forced MTR officials to call the police.
In an 86-second viral video, the man in his 20s was shown using his body to stop the platform screen doors and train doors from closing at Lok Fu station. The man shouted vulgar words in Cantonese, while on a train on the Kwun Tong Line.
Other passengers were heard on the video contacting the train driver for help.
When a male MTR station worker invited him to disembark, the man refused and cursed him with obscenities.
An MTR spokesman confirmed on Sunday that a passenger had a dispute with other passengers on a Whampoa-bound train at about 10pm on Friday.
The spokesman train driver detected abnormalities with the platform and train doors at Lok Fu station and station staff were alerted.

He said the unruly passengers also stopped an MTR station worker from boarding. When the screen and train doors were finally closed, the train continued its journey. By this time, the railway’s operations control centre had been alerted to the incident.
At Shek Kip Mei and Prince Edward stations MTR officers boarded the train and called the police.
At Mong Kok station, the man was approached by police officers and asked to leave the train.
A police spokesman said the case was seen as a dispute, which involved no crime. No one was arrested.
The case came just days after another video surfaced that showed a man running towards an MTR train with its doors closing. The man forced open the platform doors and the train doors before getting on an MTR train at an unknown station and time.
The MTR spokesman said the company had received no reports about the incident.
He said anyone who interfered with train or platform doors on the railway premises could be penalised as much as HK$2,000 (US$250). He urged passengers not to interrupt train services and the transport of other commuters.
