Dispute over train seat generates online heat

A man who took a young woman's seat on a train and refused to vacate it is facing widespread anger and condemnation from netizens.

The public security department of the Jinan railway said it is investigating the case, and will share its results with the public in a timely manner.

In an initial response, the Jinan Railway Bureau said the man's behavior is a question of morality and can't be judged by laws because there are no laws to govern such behaviors.
