t least four teenagers swung on a commuter train’s handles and repeatedly shouted “dog” while opening one of the windows, as seen in video footage that went viral on the internet on Wednesday night. 

It was not clear where the train was heading or what the teenagers' intention was, but the incident likely took place during non-peak hours, given that there were only a few passengers onboard the train. 

State-owned PT Kereta Commuter Indonesia (KCI), which operates the commuter train, lambasted the incident and said they were launching an investigation into it.

“We regret that such an incident took place. Besides potentially damaging the [train] facilities, it also endangered their safety,” KCI spokesperson Eva Chairunisa said on Thursday. 

She added that she encouraged other passengers to proactively maintain facilities and remind other customers to refrain from such behavior. (fac)
