Yesterday (31st) was the first anniversary of the "831 Conflict at Prince Edward Station." There was another clash between the police and the people in the evening. The police dispersed the people at the scene. A pregnant woman was injured by a police officer's neck and her husband was also injured and arrested.

After the police only stated on Facebook that she had pushed away one person, they found that she was a pregnant woman and was sent to hospital due to illness.

Mong Kok District Councillor Yu Debao, who went to the Kwong Wah Hospital to assist the injured pregnant woman and her husband, said in a radio program that the pregnant woman was seven to eight months pregnant and the fetus was confirmed to be safe after the inspection. The husband was injured by the pepper spray at close range and was not serious. He was arrested by the police for "misconduct in a public place" with the assistance of a team of lawyers.

It can be seen from the scene that the police scolded each other with the demonstrators before carrying out this round of dispersal. Afterwards, the police stepped forward to take the pregnant woman’s husband. The situation was chaotic. Later, a pregnant woman fell to the ground by the police. Excited and arrested after being sprayed with pepper spray, the pregnant woman was assisted by a policewoman.

The pregnant woman said in a media interview at the hospital last night that she was pushed down by police and spitting peppers. She cried during the interview. Her relatives stated that the pregnant woman was seven to eight months pregnant and the fetus still had a heartbeat.

The police stated on Facebook, “When officers arrived at Argyle Street near Tung Choi Street and arrested a man, they pulled away the woman accompanying him and used pepper spray in response to the situation at the scene. Later, police officers found out. The woman was a pregnant woman. She felt unwell and the staff immediately provided assistance." The reason for the "unwellness" of the pregnant woman was not stated.

Yu Debao: Husband has a team of lawyers to help restore calm

Mong Kok District Councillor Yu Debao said that he was not at the scene at the time of the incident and went to Kwong Wah Hospital to assist the two. The pregnant woman was not affected after the examination. She is now in the ward for observation; her husband was charged with "misconduct in a public place."

He said that the two couples could not communicate with each other in the hospital, so they coordinated with their family members. The husband had the assistance of a team of lawyers and calmed down. The pregnant woman was worried about the safety of the fetus and her husband.

Yu Debao described the arrest as absurd. He also pointed out that there was a fragment of what he saw at the time. The husband once said loudly that his pregnant wife had been hit by police officers and called out for being dissatisfied. Both sides had quarrels.

In response to questions about why the two had to go near Prince Edward Station, Yu Debao said that the two were working in Mong Kok, and the public could judge the situation.

The Commissioner of Police, Tang Ping-kiang, said that spreading rumors of "831 to kill people" is endangering national security. Yu Debao said that some citizens still do not believe in the government, and some people don’t believe in the idea of ​​"killing people" but not the day one year ago. In the MTR carriages, the police waved their batons and sprayed pepper spray, many people were beaten to their heads, and after blocking Prince Edward Station, they stepped on the escalators and other practices.
