Drunk man missed the train and broke into the North Station director's office. He attacked the deputy station director with a thermos bottle but was subdued.

A 60-year-old man surnamed Mao was going to take a Taiwan Railway train tonight. He was suspected to have missed the train because he was drunk before boarding. Instead of examining himself, he went to the Station Master's Office of the Taiwan Railway Taipei Station to make noises due to his drunkenness. Finally, he picked up a thermos bottle and attempted to attack the deputy station manager on duty at the time. Fortunately, the deputy stationmaster was agile and was able to subdue him after evading his attack and notified the police. The railway police officers arrived quickly and arrested him.

Police investigation revealed that a man surnamed Mao went to the Taiwan Railway Taipei Station at 6 p.m. tonight with the intention of catching a train. However, he drank alcohol before catching the train, which is suspected to have caused him to miss the train. He went to the station master's office to get a refund and got into a dispute with the deputy station master over ticketing issues.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. While he was communicating with the deputy station manager, Mao broke in from the side door of the station manager's office and picked up the thermos bottle he carried with him in an attempt to attack the deputy station manager. Fortunately, the deputy station chief was not a light-hearted person. Not only did he avoid Mao's attack, he suppressed him to the ground with his backhand and called his colleagues to call the police.

Six police officers from the Railway Police Department rushed to the scene and took over the suppression. After the police clarified the whole situation, although neither Mao nor the deputy stationmaster was injured, the police determined that Mao's behavior violated Article 68 of the Railway Law, "Obstructing railway employees from performing railway business by force, coercion, intimidation or other illegal methods," and immediately arrested him and sent him to court.
