Witness Claimed Ambulance Obstructed and Treatment Delayed

[Editor's note: UST student Chow is severely injured after falling in a carpark during police mass arrest operation in the night of Nov 4. Suspicions are raised towards the case. Read the full story: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/9903]

This is a witness account of an onlooker called Ricky who was among the first to discover the 22-year-old boy:

Ricky, a Tseung Kwan O resident, was one of the first persons who discovered student Chow Tsz-Lok lying unconscious in the parking lot when he and another middle-aged man were heading to the second floor of the car park to flee tear gas. It was around 1am when they heard a black-clad citizen shouting “FA (first-aider) please”. They walked over and saw Chow lying face down on the ground covered in a large pool of blood. Chow was immediately assessed by three unarmed firemen who happened to be at the scene later.

According to Ricky, while there were no apparent injuries on Chow’s head, arms and legs; there were signs of muscle spasms and urinary incontinence. The firemen determined Chow’s situation to be very serious and requested backup and an ambulance through their own radio. At 1.10am, 7 firemen with first aid supplies and 3 volunteer first-aiders arrived at the scene to rescue Chow. However, he ambulance had yet to arrive after a 10 minutes wait. Meanwhile, 10 riot police rushed to the scene from the 3rd floor, and pointed guns at Ricky and another first-aider. Ricky yelled “Let us rescue him first!”, the police put down their guns after realising the presence of the firemen.

At 1.25 am, Chow’s pulse rate dropped to 40. The ambulance still had not arrived even though the firemen repeatedly called for help. Meanwhile Ricky overheard the firemen’s conversation through radio that the ambulance could not arrive because of police obstruction. After a short while, the firemen were finally able to get an ambulance on the way for another case to change its route and treat Chow first. He was then transported to the ambulance on a stretcher at 1.29am.

Police Pointed Guns at First Aiders and Ambulance Radio Mentioned Police Obstruction, Says First Aider

[Editor's note: UST student Chow is severely injured after falling in a carpark during police mass arrest operation in the night of Nov 4. Suspicions are raised towards the case. Read the full story: https://t.me/guardiansofhongkong/9903]

This is a witness account of a first-aider called Hins who provided care for the 22-year-old boy at the scene:

It was around 1am on Nov 5 when volunteer first-aider Hins and his colleague heard a bystander said a young person Chow, aged 22, fell from the 3rd floor of a car park at Sheung Tak Estate. There were already 8 to 10 paramedics from the Fire Services Department providing basic first aid service when Hins arrived at the scene. Hins asked if the paramedics knew what happened, they said they had no idea but they heard the onlookers saying that the police were chasing after Chow earlier then somehow Chow fell.

Hins said, Chow’s situation seems very serious even though there was no apparent injuries because there was a significant loss of blood. Hins described the scene as frightening as Chow vomited blood. He then asked if the paramedics had called the ambulance and they said they already did.

Hins got extremely worried and kept asking the firemen when the ambulance was going to arrive as Chow’s pulse rate was dropping constantly. “We then heard from the radio that the ambulance could not get to the scene because it was stopped by the police”. Hins added, “I was very shocked because based on the patient’s situation, he needed to be sent to the Resuscitation Room right away.”

Hins also recalled the arrival of a large group of riot police 5 to 10 minutes after he and his colleague got to the scene. They pointed guns at them and demanded them to leave immediately as the scene is very dangerous. The paramedics did not agree. They then handed over Chow to Hins and his colleague and negotiated with the police. “We are trying to save someone’s life here”, the paramedic said, “There is no danger here. We don’t need you. Please leave”.

Immigrant University Student: "If Hong Kongers give up, Hong Kong is going to vanish"

President of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (UST) Wei Shyy talked about the injury of the 22-year-old student Chow during an open dialogue on the university campus which over 800 students participated. Currently in critical condition, Chow was found fallen in a car park in Tseung Kwan O earlier this week during police mass arrest operation.

At the forum, UST student association played a footage supporting the fact that the police delayed the fightfighters from providing first aid to Chow. A group of exchange students from China who were holding placards that read "In support of Mr. President" were discontent and left the forum soon after.

A first year engineer student then asked Shyy some questions and talked about his thoughts, as an immigrant to Hong Kong from China, towards the pro-democracy movement in the past 5 months.

The student expressed that he was very glad that he can study and enjoy freedom in Hong Kong. In the past few months, Hongkongers did everything possible to defend their rights and freedom. "Rallies didn't work. Assemblies didn't work," he said, "which left violence the only way to fight". He also pointed out that instead of addressing people's needs, the government tries its best to suppress thr protestors. That is why Hong Kongers cannot back down. "If Hong Kongers give up, Hong Kong is going to vanish".

The student then brought up the fact the Shyy refused to condemn police brutality and questioned why he still needs to wait for the police's investigations when he has already watched the footage shown by the Student Association. He also condemned the Chinese students who held banners to 'support' the president by pressurizing Shyy on the pro-Beijing side. He said, exchange students from China are no more than just "guests" in Hong Kong, but Hong Kongers who study at UST are the actual ones who see UST and Hong Kong as their homes. He added, "I hope you can stand with us. If you would condemn police brutality, we pledge solidarity with you".

Police Presence in the Carpark Before the Fall, Contradicting
Police Statement


22-year-old university student Chow Chi-Lok was severely injured after falling from the third to the second floor of the Sheung Tak Carpark in Tseung Kwan O on November 4.

In the police press conference on November 5, the police claimed the time of Chow's fall between 00:45 to 01:00 (Nov 4) and stated that the police did not enter the carpark before 00:55 (Nov 4).

In a dash cam video obtained by Citizens' News, we can, however, see a group of riot police walking down a staircase from the Sheung Tak parking lot, exiting to Tong Ming Street before midnight at 23:28 (Nov 3).

The video, therefore, disproves the police statement.
