A metro train derailment in Hong Kong on Tuesday (Sep 17) injured at least eight people and disrupted two rail lines during rush hour in the heart of the Asian financial hub.
Five hundred passengers had been evacuated from the train.
The incident occurred near Hung Hom station – a busy interchange that provides services to mainland China – causing the East Rail Line to be momentarily suspended, according to the MTR Service Update Twitter account. The West Rail Line suffered severe delays.
