The Police intercepted at 37-year-old man surnamed Keung, who was sent to the hospital after he reported injuries to his foot.

After initial investigations, the Police has arrested Keung on charges of wounding. The case is being followed up by Kwai Tsing District Investigation Team Four. Four people are still on the loose.

#Hk9cake posted on their social media on Saturday night, stating that at around 10pm, two employees were attacked by five people clothed in black. The employees suffered bone fractures and were bleeding, and were sent to the hospital.

Hk9cake also stated that pro-Beijing supporters had instigated a verbal confrontation earlier at noon, and were suspected of stepping into the shop’s boundaries in the afternoon.

They asked for the public to provide information regarding the attack, and promised a reward for their troubles. The shop remains closed until an unspecified date.

Hk9cake was opened by #AhLong (阿龍), an engineer arrested during the protests, in July 2020. The shop sells soufflé pancakes, and had organised several “limtied-edition shop manager days” to support those arrested in the protests.
