On November 2 the previous year, an anti-amendment rally was held on Hong Kong Island. After nightfall, clashes broke out in Mong Kok. Someone was alleged to be present at the scene by demonstrators in the early hours of the morning, so they were "secreted" and robbed of their mobile phones.
At that time, the sales representative who opened the umbrella to cover the assailant was charged with two crimes of illegal assembly and using masked objects while in an illegal assembly. The case was heard again in the West Kowloon Court today (25th) and the defendant pleaded guilty.
The magistrate adjourned the sentence until the 9th of next month, and will deal with compensation at that time, during which the defendant will be remanded in custody pending a background report.
The male defendant Chen Guoliang (31 years old, sales representative) admitted to participating in an illegal assembly near Nathan Road and Argyle Street in Mong Kok on November 3, 2019, and used a face mask.
The victim's eyes were sprayed with unknown liquid and the phone robbed
The case alleged that the victim drank in the street at about 2 am that night and took out a mobile phone to send a message. During the period, the protesters accused him of taking pictures of those present.
Someone sprayed unknown liquid into the victim's eyes, while others snatched his phone and kicked his back.
The victim was attacked for 8 minutes, then sent to hospital for treatment and discharged at the same time.
The defendant held an umbrella to cover the assailant
In some footage, the defendant was holding an umbrella to cover the assailant. Although his mouth was covered by a mask, his glasses, earrings and tattoos were captured by the lens.
The police arrested the defendant the following month and found the hat and glasses he was wearing at the time of the crime.
