This woman in black escaped with minor injuries after being allegedly pushed off a platform and onto the tracks. Shouting as she fell, the woman quickly pulled herself up and managed to reach the far side just as a train pulled into the station. Passengers in the train were stunned to see her on the side of the track. Tan Suan Wee, 17, a student, Lim Boon Wah, 24, a student and Steven Fong separately sent us pictures of this incident which happened at Clementi MRT station last evening (Sep 14) at about 7pm. The alarm was raised and SMRT staff helped her back onto the platform. Moments before the incident, a commuter overheard the 26-year-old woman telling a male companion in Mandarin: "Don't push me." As the male suspect started to move away from the scene, several commuters chased and held him down until the police arrived. The suspect was arrested and investigations are under way. Train services were disrupted for about 10 minutes, said an SMRT spokesman. Mazlina Majlam, 35, read this report and sent an SMS to STOMP. She had seen the couple arguing at the bus-stop next to the Clementi MRT station. This is her account: "The woman was shouting loudly at the man, who tried to sweet-talk her and he put his arms around her to try and pacify her. But she pushed him away and was obviously very unhappy. I didn't think too much about their quarrel until I was at a shop nearby and saw people looking at the MRT track. By then, the lady was already on the train tracks and I recognised her from the bus-stop! It was alleged that the man had pushed her off the platform! But from what I saw at the bus-stop, I don't think he actually pushed her off the platform, even though I wasn't at the platform to witness it." |
