A middle-aged man jumped on to the tracks of Shanghai No. 1 subway Thursday
afternoon, halting trains for a short time.
The man injured his legs, but sustained no life-threatening injuries.
The subway resumed normal operations after police dealt with the affair.
Further investigations are underway.
The incident followed another incident on Shanghai's No. 3 subway on
Wednesday, when the doors of one train malfunctioned and the vehicle was towed
to a station for repairs, but over 20 passengers refused to disembark, delaying
other trains for about 72 minutes.
The company in charge of the operation of Shanghai subways appealed to the
public to help maintain normal operations and to cooperate with subway workers
especially in emergencies.
