For a change, it’s not a technical glitch that stopped the northbound MRT Wednesday night.

“Around 10 p.m. on Wednesday, MRT 3 northbound passengers thought that another technical glitch stalled the operation (for about five to seven minutes) at the Cubao station in Quezon City…but it was a three-way brawl involving three women, including a 17-year-old, inside the train’s first car,” reports Dona Policar on Inquirer.net.

According to the report, it only started as a ‘silent war’ with the women fighting for personal space. When the MRT reached the Cubao station, that’s when things started to get really messy.

The report continues: “The train was on full stop, waiting for other passengers to get off and on board, when the three started grabbing each other’s hair and shouting invectives.”

Other passengers joined in, heckling the three until security guards rushed to the scene.

The three women involved were 25-year-old Rose Benilyn Esguerra, who immediately got off the train and said she will file a complaint; 17-year-old Mystica, and 46-year-old Jacklyn Besin.
