The incident occurred at about 8.15pm on an eastbound train on the Island Line, said one passenger, a Mr R. Dunn, who declined to give his first name.

The woman and the girl were travelling with a boy who appeared to be about six years old. The three, who were heard speaking Putonghua, got off the train at Causeway Bay station. The incident comes after a video clip showing a couple allowing their child to defaecate in an MTR station went viral in April.

Dunn said the girl just pulled down her trousers and crouched to urinate.

"I turned around and saw [the girl] squatting by the vertical hand rail. She was around five and p***ing right in front of me on the MTR. It lasted about a minute and it smelled horrible," he said.

Dunn said the woman, who appeared to be the girl's mother, did little to stop her. "The mother was just talking casually. She did not seem upset."
