🚨 [MRT Scare Hoax] Passerby Terrified, Reports 'Man with Knife'! Police Swiftly Investigate for 2 Hours, Truth Revealed... He Was Clipping Nails?

An 'ordeal' recently unfolded on the MRT in Xinzhuang District, New Taipei City! A panicked citizen reported seeing a man on the train holding a knife and walking with his head down. The police, not daring to be careless, swiftly investigated, and the revealed truth left everyone amused and bewildered. 📌 The Tense Report and the Amusing Truth: Swift Investigation Leads to Apprehension in 2 Hours: On the evening of the 3rd, around 6 PM, police received a report of a 'man with a knife' on the MRT. The Xinzhuang Precinct and MRT Police Team immediately formed a task force, reviewed surveillance footage along the line, and within just 2 hours, identified the man and summoned him for questioning. The 'Dangerous Weapon' Was Actually Nail Clippers: Upon arrival, police confirmed that what the man was holding was not a dangerous weapon at all, but ordinary 'nail clippers'! He was simply focused on clipping his nails with his head down. There was no conflict on the train; it was purely a visual misunderstanding caused by the appearance of the object and the viewing angle. Clipping Nails Could Come at a High Price: Although it was a false alarm, the police reminded the public that according to the 'Taipei MRT System Passenger Regulations' and the 'Mass Rapid Transit Act,' carrying dangerous or sharp objects into the MRT without permission and without proper packaging can result in a fine of up to NT$10,000 to NT$1,000,000! Whether the man would be fined is pending a decision by the MRT authorities, to whom the police have forwarded the case details. 💡 Editor's Note (Public Transportation Riding Etiquette): Commuters, take note! When using public transportation, please ensure that sharp items like scissors, utility knives, or even nail clippers in your bag are 'properly packaged and stored.' Never take them out to play with or use casually in stations or on trains, to avoid causing unnecessary panic in today's sensitive social atmosphere. If you spot suspicious individuals or objects, remain calm and notify station staff or call 110 immediately! 🗣️ Discussion Time for Radio Taiwan International (RTI) Talk Readers: Have you ever encountered a situation on the MRT or bus that made you feel very nervous or left you amused and bewildered?
