19-Year-Old Admits Knife Attack on Ba Dao Restaurant Owner; Given Indefinite Hospital Order
19歲青年認刀斬「八道餐廳」店主 判無限期醫院令 官：做法符公眾利益
In August 2022, an unemployed 19-year-old man surnamed Fung was accused of entering the “yellow shop” restaurant Ba Dao Restaurant in Tsz Wan Shan and suddenly attacking the female owner with a knife. After his arrest, another fruit knife was found on him at the police station. He pleaded guilty to wounding with intent, commonly known as “wounding 17”, and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place. He was sentenced to an indefinite hospital order at the District Court on Tuesday (28th). Judge Wong Si-lai cited mitigation submissions that the defendant had been bullied and sexually assaulted, and that social incidents had triggered his hatred of bullies, leading him to commit the offence. The defendant and the victim did not know each other; without the intervention of a passer-by who subdued him, the victim would have suffered more serious injuries. The judge also cited a psychiatric report stating that the defendant had a very high propensity for violence and posed a very high risk to the public. She therefore adopted the report’s recommendation and imposed an indefinite hospital order, saying that the decision was in the public interest.
2022 年 8 月，19 歲無業馮姓男子，被指進入慈雲山「黃店」食肆「八道餐廳」後，用刀突襲老闆娘，被捕後在警署再被搜出一把生果刀。他承認俗稱「傷人 17」的有意圖而傷人罪及公眾地方管武兩罪，周二（28 日）在區域法院被判處無限期醫院令。 法官王詩麗引述求情指，被告曾遭欺凌和性侵，因社會事件引爆他對欺凌者的憎恨而犯案；被告與事主互不相識，若非途人見義勇為制服他，事主必會受到更嚴重傷害。 官另引述精神科報告指，被告有極高暴力傾向，對公眾構成很高風險，故採納報告建議，判處無限期醫院令，認為做法符合公眾利益。
