All passengers on the train were forced to get off at Kiba Station while emergency workers clad in protective suits examined the substance. Police are working to identify it. Police said a 21-year-old woman on the train bound for Toyo Katsutadai contacted a worker at Otemachi Station at about 10:50 p.m. on Sunday, saying a liquid appeared to have been poured on a seat in the train. Investigators said the woman got on the train at Kudanshita Station, entering the second carriage. When she sat down she found the seat was wet. The liquid, which police said appeared to be an alkaline- based substance, gave the woman light burns, and she was taken to a hospital for treatment. Two other men on the train were taken to hospital after complaining of sore throats and light nausea because of the smell of the substance. Services on the line were resumed at 11:50 p.m., but in order to examine the liquid, police blocked off the exits and entrances at Kiba Station on the line. About 30 police and firefighting vehicles arrived at the station as workers wearing protective suits inspected the substance. A 21-year-old woman who was on the train described the scene. "Just before we arrived at Kiba Station, there was an announcement saying, 'This train is being taken out of service,' and we were made to wait about 5 minutes at the station," she said. "Then there was an announcement saying 'An unusual smell has been detected and it is being examined.' We were then led out of the station, but I didn't notice anything on the train."
