SINGAPORE \u2013 A 17-year-old is being investigated by police for a rash act, after he allegedly threw a bag containing two blocks of ice cream off the platform of Cove LRT station in Punggol.<\/p>\n
In a media release on Oct 6, the police said that they were alerted on Sept 29 to the incident, which happened at about 11pm on Sept 27.<\/p>\n
The station is part of the eastern loop of the Punggol LRT network, which was still in operation then.<\/p>\n
The last train on that loop leaves Punggol Town Centre at 12.38am, according to operator SBS Transit\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
The teen was identified through ground enquiries and CCTV footage.<\/p>\n
If convicted of committing a rash act, he could be jailed for up to six months and fined, the police said.<\/p>\n
In a media reply, SBS Transit spokeswoman Grace Wu said the person was observed through CCTV footage to be among a group of five. Four of them did not tap in at the fare gates when they entered the station.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis constitutes fare evasion, which is an offence, and we are looking into the matter,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
In a video posted online on Sept 28, a person who is clad in a black T-shirt and black shorts can be seen striking a bag on the floor of the train platform at Cove station.<\/p>\n
The person then picks up the bag and flings it past the gap between the barriers, and seemingly beyond the tracks.<\/p>\n
The video ends with an image of the back view of four persons dragging three styrofoam boxes.<\/p>\n
The video has since garnered more than 245,000 views, 2,000 reactions and 150 comments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
