The video also showed the man attempting to appear normal by casually chatting with a companion while recording at the same time.
However, the exact time and date wasn’t disclosed.
Swift action by staff

Commuters concerned
Once the video surfaced online, it quickly drew attention and triggered widespread discussion, particularly among female commuters.
‘That’s why women should go into the women-only coach. Don’t go to the mixed one with men. This kind of foreigners really like to record people.’
