At this time, the train was crowded with passengers, many of whom were sitting in the lower seats.

As soon as the clip went viral online, it attracted a large number of shares. Everyone was outraged, saying that the young man's behavior was uncivilized and uncultured when using public passenger transport, affecting many people.

In addition, the young man's actions also caused insecurity and damage to facilities and equipment on the metro train.

This unit determined that the young man's actions were inappropriate, could cause damage to property, and affect the safety and comfort of those around him.
