An elderly woman tried to fight a younger one over priority seating inside an MTR train carriage in Hong Kong, with a clip capturing the dispute going viral on Saturday.
In the clip posted on the social media platform Threads, the elderly woman in one of two adjacent priority seats is seen forcefully trying to remove the younger woman beside her.
The older woman pushes the younger one’s face, grabs her hair and shakes her head, while using her foot to push her leg.

The younger woman does not hit back or verbally engage her, according to the clip.
A fellow passenger seated next to them asks the elderly woman to let go of the younger one, but in vain.

A photograph accompanying the same post showed the older passenger hiding her face and most of her torso behind the back of the younger one.
