This incident follows another case involving 41-year-old Chinese national Li Guorui, who was caught on video urinating on an escalator handrail at Outram Park MRT station on 10 January.

Li was charged in court on 13 January with causing annoyance to the public.

According to a post on the Complaint Singapore Facebook page by netizen Stella Kee, the earlier incident occurred near Exit 3 of the MRT station.

She reported that her friend witnessed a man contaminating an escalator handrail with urine.

“Upon closer inspection, the entire handrail of the escalator was contaminated with his urine,” said Kee.

Li is expected to plead guilty on 14 January.

If convicted of causing annoyance to the public, he could face up to three months in jail, a fine of up to S$2,000, or both.
