As per the 16-year-old, the guards escorted him to the next train while the man chased him. “As soon as I reached my station (Kashmere gate) I got out and tried to go the opposite way trying to trick him and it worked for a while but eventually I had to go to the yellow line and he caught me on my way. I got on the escalator as fast as I could,” he said.
The boy even shared the photo of the man. “I had enough and I grabbed his hair and clicked a picture of him. I was scared and shaking but I did it anyway. After that I waited a while there and he tried to argue but nothing happened,” he said.
