A 28-year old woman named Rica Fernandez tried to commit suicide early this morning by jumping onto the rail tracks of the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) Shaw Boulevard station while the southbound train arrived to pick up passengers.
She didn’t get hit by the train, but her left leg “was pinned down” and “had to be amputated,” according to Inquirer.
The unfortunate incident took place at 11:15 a.m. and disrupted operations, but everything was back to normal by 12:20 p.m.
