Riot police Chased Young Man Distributing Flowers; Causing an Accident
It is New Year's Eve today (31 December), four months since the tragedy happened at Prince Edward Station on 31 August. About 10 riot police suddenly dashed out from the main entrance of Mong Kok Police Station and chased a young man who was passing out flowers.
When the young man ran to the junction of Nathan Road and Prince Edward Road West, he was hit by a motorcycle. The motorcyclist also fell to the ground and was injured. The young man got up and escaped. Riot police arrived, encircled the scene and checked the driver for injuries. They later removed the flower altar outside Prince Edward Station.
Onlookers were deeply discontented and criticized police for chasing after the young man.
