Policemen Were Not Properly Deployed During the Halloween Festival

Yoon Hong Bin added that he almost fell a lot of times and the woman next to him fell also but tried to get him up. However, people kept pushing him down because they couldn't see him already due to overpopulation in the area. 

He also screamed to be heard yet everyone was already panicking and in chaos at that time.
