HONG KONG - Several people were injured in a fire that broke out on a Hong Kong train at the popular Tsim Sha Tsui station on Friday evening (Feb 10) after a man reportedly tried to throw a petrol bomb, Hong Kong media reported.
The incident occurred on a train travelling from Admiralty to Tsim Sha Tsui on the Hong Kong MTR's Tsuen Wan Line, according to local media.
The MTR said on Twitter the fire broke out on a train at the Tsim Sha Tsui station.
The South China Morning Post said at least 11 people were injured in the incident. It cited police as saying that a man had attempted to throw the petrol bomb just as it was reaching the Tsim Sha Tsui train platform when he caught fire.
Videos circulated on social media showed a man with his pants on fire lying on the floor of a packed train platform as nearby passengers frantically attempted to put out the flames using their clothes.
