Hong Kong’s rail giant has appealed to passengers to avoid engaging in behaviour that disturbs other commuters after a viral video appeared to show a man urinating inside a train carriage.

The MTR Corporation said on Monday that it had received a report a day before about a passenger urinating on the floor of one of its Admiralty-bound trains on the East Rail line.

In the video clip, a male passenger is seen facing the doors of the train with his back to the other passengers.

The clip shows a pool of what appears to be urine at his feet, with the liquid spreading across the floor of the train carriage. His shorts are also wet in the footage.

Other passengers can be seen moving away from the liquid, without anyone approaching the man.
