HK Police Detain a Boy who Pass By Prince Edward Subway Station

1719 | Prince Edward Station
Riot police took the boy onto a police vehicle and escorted him to Mong Kok Police Station.

Police claimed that they were doing so, as the companion of the underaged boy is not his guardian and cannot be held responsible for his behavior.

The need for taking away the boy from the scene remains unexplained.

Today marks one year into the 8.31 Prince Edward Attack where police violently attacked train passengers indiscriminately at the Prince Edward station on 31 August 2019.

Commemorative events have been held every month since last year, but were faced with heavy police interference each time.

Since the late morning today, police have been removing the flowers laid down by civilians to commemorate the victims of police brutality.

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.

Orthopedic Surgeons: Police's Violent Tactics may have Broken 12-year-old Girl’s Ribs and Lumbar Spine Bones

https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/25058

A 12-year old girl, on her way to shop for pastel chalk on Sunday, September 6, 2020, was body-slammed head-on by the riot police, who knocked her off her feet. Three more riot police piled on top of her as she was forcefully pinned to the ground in between one of the officer’s legs, causing multiple injuries on her body.

This left the city enraged and the girl traumatised.

The mother of the girl, Mrs Ho, told Apple Daily that her daughter refused to talk about the incident nor watch any relevant video footage. She is worried that her daughter might be suffering from psychological trauma and might need help from a psychologist.

Several orthopedic surgeons, who refused to be identified, commented that the police’s violent enforcement, targeting a young girl, had a good chance of breaking the girl’s ribs and lumbar spine bones. They added, “The girl was very lucky to have gotten away with just abrasions."
