Police's Changing Statements About Bus Driver's Arrest
Version 1:
From the live broadcast provided by the police force on Sept 6, the officers at the scene reprimanded the bus driver for "honking for no reason" and being "provocative toward the police". The police claimed that the bus driver's behaviour "affected the police operation severely" and "might incite onlookers", so that the police had to stop the bus.
Version 2:
On their Facebook page, the police force on Sept 6 did not mention the honk, but accused the driver of "dangerous driving". This was said to be the reason why the police intercepted the bus.
Version 3:
On the morning of Sept 7, police replied to a media inquiry, stressing that the bus driver was arrested for "dangerous driving". The police, however, added that they found a spanner in the belongings of the bus driver. The police, meanwhile, arrested him for possession of "offensive weapon".
Editor's note:
According to the New World First Bus Company Staff Union, it is common for bus drivers to carry a spanner with them, as it is a tool for calibrating the rear mirror.
On Sept 9, the New World First Bus Company said records show the bus driver was driving at about 10 to 35 km per hour at the time when police accused him of "dangerous driving".

HK Police Demonstrate Polar Definition of "Dangerous Driving"
On Sept 12, 2020 in Sham Shui Po, a street cleaning vehicle crashed into a bus, injuring 24 bus passengers. Police arrested the 64-year-old driver for "dangerous driving".
A week ago on Sept 6, police arrested a bus driver who was driving at a speed of 35km/h and reportedly honked his horn during police's occupation of the road. Police also charged him of "dangerous driving", although the charge was later changed to "possession of offensive weapon" (for carrying a spanner) and lately "careless driving".
