This man in black told off a girl who was eating on the train, and got challenged into a fight with the girl’s friend instead. STOMPer violettulip witnessed this ugly scene on the train, and says it got so serious that the man’s wife pushed the emergency button.

She elaborates:

“I was on the train to work today (Jun 20) around 11.45am.

“Minutes after I boarded the train, I noticed this group of teenagers near the door as they were sitting down on the floor.

“The only girl in the group was munching her sandwich and the guy in white was sitting next to her.

“Suddenly, this man in black confronted the girl, who was not supposed to eat on the train.

“He pointed at the ‘no eating’ sign while telling them that they should not consume food in the train, they should be aware of the rules.

“This guy in white was provoked and stood up to argue with the man, he was obviously unhappy that the man told them off, and even adopted a ‘fighting pose’ to challenge the man to fight with him.

“His friend came forward to stop him, but the guy was still arrogantly challenging the man and came out with vulgarities.

“The man’s wife did not want the situation to get out of hand, therefore she pressed the emergency button.

“When the train reached Yew Tee station, the group of teenagers and the man with his wife was told to alight the train but they were still arguing away on the platform.

“I am glad that someone like the man spoke up to those who break the rules on public transport!

“I have seen countless eating and drinking cases on the train, from cup noodles to french fries,
bubble tea and even fried carrot cake!

“I think as a commuter ourself, we seriously need to consider other commuters’ travelling comfort on the public transport.”
