"We are sorry that our staff overreacted," SMRT said.
The public transport service provider wrote that the staff in question had previously told the skateboarder that skateboarding was not permitted within the station premises for the safety of commuters.
The post said: "When the staff saw that the person was skateboarding towards the stairs which other commuters were also using, the staff ran towards the person to stop him from doing so."
SMRT said that a report had been made regarding the incident and that they were assisting TransCom with their investigations.
The suspended staff member will also be "supporting" the proceedings.
