brought or took?

Post by tamguatlay »

A giirl who had allegedly just gotten her heart broken was seen standing in the rain outside what seems to be Kallang MRT station.

Soon after, a few SMRT staff comforted the girl and brought her into the station.

Should it be "took" instead of "brought", as the SMRT staff led her from the Kallang MRT station into the (staff) station?

Thanks!

Either would be acceptable here.
