A Man Was Arrested After Running On MRT 3 Tracks
MAN CAUGHT – Last Sunday (April 21), a man was arrested by station security and police officers after running on the MRT 3 tracks.
MRT 3 was under general maintenance and will resume normal operations today (April 22, 2019). Here is the official schedule of their operating hours.
Pulling dangerous stunts in train stations, especially on the tracks, either for entertainment or legitimate purpose is not excused by law and should be avoided to prevent possible injuries.
In the photo posted by Inquirer, the man is seen lying on the tracks after being arrested by the officials. There were no reported injuries as the man complied to orders immediately.
Luckily, the operations were suspended during the man’s crazy attempt. Otherwise, this could’ve ended worse for the man than just getting arrested.
The runner, identified in MRT 3’s incident report was Guevarra Soledad.
This is according to an article from Inquirer. Based on the article,
Guevarra Soledad was first seen crossing the footbridge near Kamuning Road at around 5pm. The incident followed right after.
Guevarra jumped on to the train tracks and started running towards Northbound Section of Quezon Avenue station. Noticed by the security, he was chased down and finally caught.
Guevarra was arrested by the station’s security personnel and two police officers. He is now detained at the Kamuning Station, Quezon City Police District.
That is all there is to it, at least for now. We’ll post updates as soon as we got them.
