Force's inefficiency shown in time taken for them to get police vehicle to site

2155 | Shandong Street / Sai Yeung Choi St South, #MongKok

A reporter witnessed a group of arrestees being taken away from a Wilson phone store.

A police officer said that it would take about half an hour to for them to arrange for another police vehicle to take about 10 female arrestees back to the police station. The reporter was very puzzled that it takes half an hour for the force's vehicle to reach the downtown area of Mong Kok, which is an extremely long time given the distance that the police vehicle actually has to travel.

12-Year-Old Girl, Shopping for Stationery, Body-Slammed to the Ground by Police

Mrs. Ho took her son and daughter to Mongkok for lunch, then let them go shopping for pastel chalks afterwards, while she went to buy groceries and planned to meet up with them later. However, her children soon messaged her that the area around the stationery store was cordoned off by the police, so they headed off to Sai Yeung Choi St South instead.

However, when Mrs. Ho arrived to meet them, she found them detained by the police and brought inside the cordon line.

Onlookers told her that they saw 4 riot police pinning her 12-year-old daughter to the ground, and her son was also roughly manhandled. The whole scene was chaotic.

"The cops just suddenly rushed in and pinned my daughter down...My daughter is only 12 years old! Is this how it is now? The younger you are, the easier you are to get picked on, and the more these cops will bully you?"

According to the footage from HKUST Radio News, the brother-and-sister pair, aged 20 and 12 respectively, were walking past a shuttered shop along with the nearby crowd. Suddenly, a plainclothes officer in a black T-shirt, wielding a baton and shield walked up beside them.

Startled by the police officer's intimidating presence, the girl began walking ahead at a brisk pace.

As she tried to weave through the crowd, a few seconds later, another riot police body-slammed into her head-on, knocking her off her feet. The officer then held onto her shirt and arm, as three more officers piled on top of her, pinning her to the ground. Meanwhile, her brother was held down by at least one other officer.

From what could be seen on the video, the area was not within police cordons at the time.
