More than 1,000 passengers were delayed for an hour and a half at the Changsha railway station on Monday after a mentally disturbed woman was found dancing atop the train nearly half an hour before it was due to depart, reports Oriental News.

The woman was spotted by police at about 7:20 pm. Several officers tried to persuade her to get down, but the woman paid no attention.

As the train for Guangzhou was scheduled to leave at 7:45, the railway station was forced to switch off the power to the railway lines in order to remove the woman safely, delaying the departure.

When officers finally pulled the woman off the train, they realized she was mentally disabled. The train eventually left at 9:10.
