Man Arrested for Pushing Worker onto Train Tracks in Hong Kong

Last Saturday morning, a man from Southeast Asia was arrested in Hong Kong for pushing a train station cleaning lady onto the tracks, South China Morning Post reported. Luckily, no trains were running at the time and the worker, 59, was rescued and hospitalized for "injuries to her jaw."

Chilling CCTV footage shows the incident, which happened at the Yuen Long Stop. At 10.22am, the train station worker, surnamed Leung, pauses near the tracks to wave to an acquaintance. A middle-aged man in a cap then approaches from behind and, without breaking his stride, pushes Leung onto the tracks.

As Leung reels from the unexpected assault, the man continues walking without a backward glance.

According to SCMP, the shocking video has gone viral, with one Facebook post getting over 200,000 views.
