‘Captain America’ jailed for 10 days after admitting obstruction of police over holding white flowers outside Sogo last National Day
涉去年國慶崇光外舉白花 「美國隊長」認阻差辦公判囚10天
Yung Wai-yip, nicknamed “Captain America”, pleaded guilty today (14th) at Eastern Magistrates’ Courts to one count of obstructing a police officer in the due execution of his duty after allegedly refusing to show his identity card outside Sogo in Causeway Bay on National Day last year. Chief Magistrate Tsui Yee-wai sentenced him to 10 days in prison. The court heard that Yung was wearing a black T-shirt bearing the words “Hong Kong, stay strong” and holding a bouquet outside Sogo that day. When officers approached him for a stop-and-search, Yung loudly cursed and berated them, attracting passers-by. The officers said his conduct might constitute incitement and asked him five times to show his identity card, but Yung refused each time. He said he was offering flowers to a man who had died outside Sogo several years earlier, asking, “Is offering flowers incitement?” He was eventually pinned to the ground and subdued by police.
綽號「美國隊長」的容偉業，涉去年國慶日在銅鑼灣崇光百貨外拒絕出示身分證，今（14日）於東區裁判法院承認一項「阻撓在正當執行職務的警務人員」罪，被主任裁判官徐綺薇判囚10天。案情指，容當天身穿印有「香港加油」字樣的黑色T裇，在崇光外舉起花束，警員上前截查，容大聲以粗言穢語責罵警員，吸引途人聚集。警員指其行為可能構成煽動，並5度要求出示身分證，容均拒絕，並指他是獻花給數年前在崇光外死亡的男子，「獻吓花叫煽動呀？」，最終被警員按地制服。
