SINGAPORE: Train services were disrupted at stations between Eunos and Tanah Merah for about an hour on Friday afternoon. This was due to a track incident at Bedok Station.

About 6,500 commuters were affected when a 54-year-old man was hit by a train at around 1.45pm.

Callers to MediaCorp's news hotline said the man jumped onto the tracks when the train was approaching.

The driver, who saw the incident, will be given counselling and a few days to recover from the trauma.

All train services resumed at about 3pm.

Twenty-four free bus bridging services were deployed for commuters affected by the disruption.

Passengers who could not complete their journeys can get a full fare refund from the Passenger Service Centre in any of the 69 SMRT stations within the next three working days.

A man committed suicide by jumping onto the track of an oncoming train at Bedok MRT station, causing eastbound trains from Eunos to Tanah Merah to be disrupted today (May 7).

According to the news report on The Straits Times website, the incident occurred at 1.42pm.

The track was blood stained, caused by the train wheels rolling over and crushing the man’s body against the metal track.

The man’s body was seen covered with blood and his flesh exposed on certain parts of his body.

One of the man’s arm was also severed and seen lying a few meters away from his body.

It is not known whether the victim is still alive or already dead (which most likely will be the case).

The cause of the incident is still being investigated.

SMRT said that is had deployed buses to assist stranded passengers at the two MRT stations.

It is believed that the victim lost a huge sum of money amounting to some S$70,000 at a casino last week, which resulted in his act of suicide. It is unknown if he had made the losses at a local or foreign casino.

Our private reporters will follow up on this case and update in a new post with more pictures and videos of the accident scene, and also the full report of the case.
