SINGAPORE: Train services along the East West MRT line were disrupted for 18 minutes on Friday at about 7.25pm.

A man jumped off the platform at Aljunied MRT station and ran along the track towards Paya Lebar Station.

A commuter activated the Emergency Stop Plunger which stopped approaching trains from entering the station.

SMRT staff combed the tracks twice but did not find the man.

Police finally arrested the man who managed to find his way down to the street below the MRT track.

The police said the Chinese man, who is in his late 40s, sustained leg injuries and will be charged with attempted suicide.

He could be fined up to S$5,000 for trespassing MRT tracks. - CNA/vm

On Wednesday there was a report on the radio of an extended disruption on the NE line, AGAIN.

Attempte suicide only causes a delay of 18 minutes while SBS cockup causes an "extended" delay. Bet the SBS managenet has not regrets

Suspect they are using dummy cameras, or the cameras are spoilt due to lack of servicing
