Squirrel runs loose in Bishan MRT station, staff attempt to catch it with jacket & plastic box

A squirrel was seen on the loose in Bishan MRT station.

Videos of the incident were shared online on Apr. 29.

The furry creature was seen running on the ground at the Circle Line section of the station.

A station staff in red could be seen following the squirrel around before the animal ran off down a linkway.

Another video then showed the squirrel running along the boarding platform.

Five station staff, some holding a jacket and plastic crate, were then seen chasing the squirrel in an attempt to catch it.

At one point, the squirrel ran past the foot of one of the staff in a high-visibility jacket, who reacted instinctively by trying to kick it.

The chase eventually ended with a staff throwing the jacket on the squirrel in an attempt to stop it from running away before picking it up.

The proceedings were watched by commuters at the platform.
