Woman strips down, starts screaming and blocks ATMs at Mongkok MTR station yesterday

Yesterday afternoon at the Mongkok MTR station, a 39-year old Filipino woman named Liza apparently had a mental breakdown when she suddenly stripped off her clothes, leaving only her underpants, and started screaming unintelligibly. Her clothes and her rolling suitcase strewn across the ground, she wailed and flailed her arms and scared away people trying to use the Hang Seng ATMs, but many persevered despite the commotion, reports Apple Daily.

In typical Hong Kong fashion, no one came to the clearly distressed woman’s aid but instead ensured her continued humiliation by forming a crowd and filming her with their mobile devices. One such man can be heard giggling as he filmed. Thankfully, a kind Samaritan offered her some clothing to cover herself up but the woman simply screamed at her.

 The incident started at 2pm and continued for half an hour until MTR staff were finally able to gain control of the situation and wrapped the woman in a towel. The police soon arrived to bring her to the hospital to get the medical attention she needed.
