During an argument with his mother, Mr. Lo lost control of his emotions and jumped onto the tracks, which caused train number 168 to stop outside Tainan Railway Station, causing a 2-minute delay.

The man was allegedly arguing with his mother because he’d run out of pocket money. The fight became so intense, that he ended up jumping off the platform and onto the tracks. The station master was immediately alerted, and the train was told to stop outside the station, averting tragedy. The man was pulled back up onto the platform with scratched his knees and still visibly upset. He was then sent to the hospital. Police say that crossing over the track result in fines of NT$10,000 to NT$50,000, and in severe cases up to NT$100,000.
