The suspected "kidnapping" case in Chai Wan turned out to be a misunderstanding.
At about 11:00 p.m. on October 5, the police received a report from a woman, saying that her 39-year-old son was suddenly "taken" away by four big men from his apartment in Chai Wan Village, and was even handcuffed during the period.
The police arrived at the scene to investigate and initially believed that the arrest was not a kidnapping or unlawful confinement incident.
The case was reclassified as "Miscellaneous" from "Police Assistance".
It is understood that the man who was "hijacked" was suspected of committing "criminal intimidation" and was detained by the police for investigation.
