A FAMILY in China sparked outrage online for allowing a young child to urinate on the floor of a high-speed train carriage in full view of other passengers, Sin Chew Daily reported.
None of the family members – the father, mother and grandmother – cleaned up the mess, which meant that the urine flowed across the carriage floor.
A train attendant eventually arrived to clean it up.
One passenger complained that the family had been chatting and laughing loudly on board.
Despite repeated reminders by train attendants, the family did not keep their voices down.
The passenger later posted a photo of the incident on social media.
