Last Thursday (23rd) the government forced citizens to wear masks in indoor public places, otherwise it would be illegal. At about 6 o'clock tonight (28th), a Wellcome staff member reported on Zhichang Road, Sheung Shui, stating that a woman did not wear a mask. When the police arrived at the scene, the woman refused to cooperate and showed her ID card and attacked. The police officer verbally warned her to no avail, so she tried to subdue her with pepper spray. During the struggle, a male policeman injured her hand and was sent to hospital. A 55-year-old woman surnamed Lu was eventually arrested for "failure to produce identification documents", "impeding police officers from performing their duties" and violating the "Prevention and Control of Diseases (Wearing Masks) Regulations" (Chapter 599I). According to the clip provided by the reader, a police officer arrested the woman involved in the incident and locked the handcuffs while wearing a uniform, while the woman was cleaning her eyes. Two police officers tried to lock the handcuffs, but she refused to struggle fiercely. A police officer yelled, "Don't be depressed! Don't be depressed anymore!" An internet user said that she was also present at the time of the incident. The woman Yu Hui Kang Nai was asked by staff to wear a mask, and some neighbours kindly handed it over, but the woman still refused to wear it.
