Drunk man in his 40s breaks subway train window on commute... Urban Railroad Line 1 delayed by 7 minutes

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-gi] A man in his 40s who broke a train window after arguing with another passenger on the urban railway was arrested by the police.

According to Dongdaemun Police Station in Seoul and Korail, a man in his 40s, Mr. A, got into an argument with a nearby passenger around 7:41 a.m. on the 31st as the Incheon-bound Urban Railway Line 1 train was passing near Gwangwoon University Station.

Mr. A, who was intoxicated, caused a disturbance inside the train, and those around him reportedly advised him to get off. Eventually, Mr. A got off at Hyehwa Station and struck the train door several times with his elbow, breaking the window. He was immediately arrested at the scene by police who responded to the report.

Due to the broken window caused by Mr. A's actions, the train became inoperable, forcing all passengers on board to disembark and transfer to the next train. This caused a delay of about 7 minutes in train operations, resulting in congestion during the morning commute.

A police official stated, "He will be handed over to the railway police on charges of violating the Railway Safety Act."
