Boy detained for verbally abusing women on train in China

An online video in which a 17-year-old boy is seen verbally abusing two women on a metro train helped the Chinese police to detain the suspect involved in the incident.

The video clip showed the boy making abusive comments to the two women, grabbing a cell phone from one of them as the woman called a police hotline, and eventually pushing her out of the train door at a station on Line 10 yesterday.

Police detained the man who appeared in the video, state-run Xinhua news agency reported today.

Police said the suspect has been put under detention for interrogation.
