Public transport can sometimes bring out the worst in us, especially when you are taking it during rush hour and find no free seats.
Case in point: these ladies.
According to hk01, three women traveling on a West Rail line train at around 6:00pm yesterday started a fight over a free seat on the train.
The melee, which was filmed by a commuter waiting on the platform at Mei Foo MTR station, shows one woman sitting down, holding the hair of two other women in what can only be described as a Vulcan death grip, while kicking at both of them.
At least three MTR staff members wearing yellow and blue jackets can be seen trying helplessly to break up the fight, while someone in the background can be heard calling the police.
Staff eventually manage to separate the three women, and the train continued on its journey.
