In a subway train, a middle-aged man with a mask on his chin, drinking alcohol, smoking, etc., was forced to get off the train, but was forced to get off the train.



According to KORAIL and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Railway Police Department, a report was filed by the Railroad Police Department that "a passenger smokes" in the express train on the Gyeongin National Railway Line 1 heading from Seoul to Incheon at around 10:19 pm on the 1st.



A middle-aged man, A, sitting in the seat of the elderly in the train, drank beer while eating bread while wearing a so-called'tusk' wearing a mask over his chin.



When another lesser passenger pointed out that "we need to wear a mask properly in the subway," Mr. A swears severely, and thereafter, there was a flurry.



Mr. A even took out a cigarette from the pocket inside the suit and lit it with a lighter while another passenger was drying.



When he was smoking, an announcement was made on the train saying, "Please cover your nose and mouth with a mask and refrain from eating."



An old man sitting next to Mr. A moved to his seat as cigarette smoke spread and coughing sounded everywhere.



One passenger pressed the emergency bell and reported again to the engine room, saying, "I smoke in the electric car, call the police."



After the train stopped at Dongam Station in Incheon, the station officials who received the report got on the train, but when Mr. A refused to ask for alight, and persisted, he just got off the train.



At the time, passengers pointed out that KORAIL did not take proper action against Mr. A, who had a wrongdoing in the train even after receiving a report.



A female passenger, Mr. Lee, said, "At Dongam Station, a social worker and a female employee got on the train, but when Mr. A did not get off, he said,'There is an employee at the next station, so please report it again if you make a fuss.' "As the station staff got off, Mr. A tried to smoke again."



Mr. A was forced to get off the train at the next station, Incheon Juan Station, by KORAIL staff, but while the police were dispatched, he transferred to Incheon Subway Line 2 and ran away.



An official from KORAIL said, "Mr. A got off at Juan Station and reported it to 112," and said, "Mr. A ran away while the police officers of the district were dispatched."



He added, "At the time, the on-site staff seemed to have decided that it was more important to start the train normally at Dongam Station."



The Railroad Police Corps secured a video of Mr. A making a fuss inside the train and initiated a full-scale investigation.
