The IT officer was accused of resisting arrest in Mong Kok and charged with resisting the police officer’s performance of his duties on the night of the "Prosecution of Police Violence" parade in October last year.
He denied the charges and the case opened in West Kowloon Magistracy today (25th).
The victim entered the court through a special passage and gave a testimony behind the screen. He claimed that he was on duty as a "Speed Dragon Team" that day. When he got out of the car to disperse the crowd, he chased the defendant, but the opponent kept swinging his body, and he felt a pain in his nose while entangled.
He also pointed out that the defendant was still struggling twice after being handcuffed backhand. After driving him to the police car, he found that his nose was bleeding.
As seen in the live video, the Athlon police bends the defendant’s feet while subduing the defendant. The police officer explained that this action would not hurt the defendant, but the more pain he struggled, the more pain he would get.
The defendant Leung Ting (32) reported that an information technology officer denied that on October 27, 2019, he resisted Police Constable A who was performing his duties at the junction of Nathan Road near Nelson Street in Mong Kok.
Ordered to get off
The prosecution applied for an anonymous order for the two police officers earlier and was approved.
Police Constable A went to court via a special passage today and gave evidence behind the screen.
He said that he was on duty as the "Athlon Team" that day, and took a casual load near midnight to sweep up Nathan Road near Nelson Street.
As about 50 black-clothed masked people gathered and blocked the road there, he was ordered to get out of the car to disperse, and the crowd dispersed immediately.

The defendant was suppressed to the ground with the assistance of his colleagues
A refers to the defendant wearing a hat, mask and black clothes running into Nelson Street. He then pursued him and intercepted the opponent at the entrance to the bank center.
A continued, when the defendant was subdued, he was resisted. The other party kept swinging his whole body, and felt pain in his right nose during the entanglement.
With the assistance of his colleague B, he was able to suppress the defendant on the ground, and then arrested the defendant on suspicion of illegal assembly, violation of the ban on masking, and assault on the police, and handcuffed him backhand.
Believing that the bleeding nose was caused by the defendant's resistance
A stated that because many people were watching and throwing objects, the defendant moved to the entrance of the subway station. During this period, the defendant suddenly struggled, grabbed his clothes and swayed from side to side.
A immediately controlled the defendant and escorted him into a police car with his colleague B.
A described that when the defendant stepped on the steps of the side door of the police car, he kicked his feet backwards, and he warned the other party not to resist.
A also said that after taking off his gloves and touching his nose, he found blood, which he believed was caused by the defendant's resistance.
The prosecution broadcasted a video of the case, showing that the police pressed the defendant on the ground, and some people questioned why the defendant had not struggled, so he had to hold him down for a long time, making him face underground.
While the defendant was being escorted into the car, the voice again pointed out that the police had sealed the defendant's mask, worrying that the defendant could hardly breathe.
The defendant resisted for 2 to 3 seconds
When A was interrogated, he did not agree with the defendant to squat down cooperatively and did not run.
He denied that he immediately threw him to the ground as soon as he saw the defendant, claiming that when he ran close to the defendant, he first hugged him and then pressed him with his own weight.
A then reviewed the footage involved and agreed that Police Officer B ran to his side quickly after he suppressed the defendant.
The defense stated that the process lasted only 2 to 3 seconds, that is, the defendant did not struggle for 30 seconds as described by A.
A admitted only a few seconds, but insisted that the defendant resisted.
Pain makes it obey
The video also shows that A bends the defendant's feet, and the narration described the police officer as "bending his foot, twisting his foot".
The defense asked why the foot was bent. A responded to reduce the defendant's mobility, but emphasized that the action would not harm the defendant.
He agreed with the clip showing that the defendant did not resist at the time, but he did so at the moment when he felt necessary.
He denied that the defendant had ever screamed for pain, and said that the more he struggled, the more pain he would get.
The defense pointed out that A was not injured with a nosebleed during the subduing of the defendant. He just exaggerated the injury and strengthened the defendant’s struggle; A denied all.
The trial continued.
