HONG KONG - A 56-year-old man was arrested in Hong Kong on Saturday (Oct 21) morning, after allegedly shoving a cleaner onto the train tracks.

According to the South China Morning Post, the incident happened around 10.30am in Yuen Long town and was captured on CCTV.

Footage shows the 59-year-old cleaner, known only as Ms Leung, standing on the platform and waving to a colleague on the other side.
