(Central News Agency reporter Huang Lili, Taipei, May 5th) A 50-year-old woman surnamed Yang today lingered in a women's restroom at Taipei Metro's Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall Station and knocked on the door. After the station manager heard the noise and went to investigate, the emotionally unstable Ms. Yang verbally abused the station manager. Metro police were informed and arrived at the scene, separating the two parties. The station manager filed a defamation lawsuit, and the case was subsequently handed over to the local police precinct.
The Taipei City Police Department Metro Police Team received a report at 8:49 AM, stating that a passenger and a station manager had a verbal dispute at Taipei Metro's Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall Station. Officers were immediately dispatched to the scene.
Upon investigation, it was understood that passenger Ms. Yang lingered in the women's restroom and knocked on the door. After the station manager heard the sound and went to check, the emotionally unstable Ms. Yang verbally abused the station manager with indecent language. After the police were informed and arrived at the scene, they immediately separated the two parties and clarified the events.
As Ms. Yang refused to cooperate and present her identification, she was subsequently taken by officers from the Nanchang Road Police Station of the Zhongzheng Second Precinct, which has jurisdiction over the area, for further processing. The station manager then proceeded to the police station independently to complete the reporting procedure.
The Metro Police Team appeals to passengers to remain rational when taking the Metro, to calmly handle disputes, and to show empathy and understanding towards each other. In case of disputes or dangerous situations, please dial 110 to report, and Metro police will promptly arrive to handle the situation. (Editor: Chen Jen-Hua)1150505
