被指六四晚銅鑼灣、九月高院送囚車後襲3警 24歲男認3罪判囚10周
A 24-year-old man, a frequent court attendee nicknamed “Fatty” who has a mild intellectual disability, pleaded guilty on Wednesday (the 4th) at Eastern Magistrates’ Court to three counts of assaulting police officers. Chief Magistrate Don Man Lung So sentenced him to 10 weeks’ imprisonment for the two cases.
The court heard that on June 4 this year, after the defendant’s grandaunt shouted slogans including “Support the National Security Law” in Causeway Bay, a police officer tried to move her into a cordoned-off area and separate her from other people. The defendant then slapped the faces of an officer from the Police Media Liaison Unit and an inspector. In September this year, after seeing off a prisoner van outside the High Court, the defendant was stopped by police and asked to produce his identity card. He suddenly slapped the right side of a police officer’s face with his left hand.
法庭旁聽常客、綽號「肥仔」、患輕度智障的 24 歲男子，被指繼今年六四兩度襲警後，再在高院聽審後襲警，他周三（4 日）在東區裁判法院承認 3 項「襲擊警務人員」罪。主任裁判官蘇文隆就兩案判被告監禁 10 周。
案情指，今年 6 月 4 日，被告的姨婆在銅鑼灣高呼 「支持國安法」等口號後，有警員嘗試將姨婆拉入封鎖範圍，與其他人士分隔。被告則分別拍打傳媒聯絡組的警員及督察臉部。另被告於今年 9 月在高院外送囚車後，被警員截查，要求出示身份證，被告突然用左手拍打警員的右臉。

6.9金鐘｜社工早前認襲警囚4月 受襲警向被告索償逾20萬元 官押後判定賠償金額
After a million-strong march against the extradition bill on June 9, 2019, large numbers of protesters gathered outside the Legislative Council protest area until the early hours of the following day. A 33-year-old social worker was accused of taking part in an attack on a police officer. He earlier admitted charges of unlawful assembly and assaulting a police officer and was sentenced to four months in prison. The injured officer earlier filed a claim in the District Court seeking at least HK$200,000 from the social worker for his injuries and losses. The case was heard in the District Court on Wednesday (the 16th). After hearing submissions, judge Phillis Lai Ping Loh adjourned the assessment of damages, which will be determined within six months.
The injured officer told the court that, at the time of the incident, he rushed forward “in a flash” to save a colleague and was surrounded and attacked by protesters. The officer said he temporarily lost his vision and felt that someone was trying to seize his baton, but the baton was a “lethal weapon”, so his “will to survive” drove him to keep holding on until his colleagues came to his aid. He said he was terrified at the time and that his cornea was scarred, though his vision was not affected.
2019 年 6 月 9 日百萬人反修例遊行後，大批示威者在立法會示威區外聚集至翌日凌晨。33 歲社工被指有份圍毆警員，早前承認非法集結及襲警罪，判監 4 個月。受襲警早前入稟區域法院，就其傷勢和損失向社工索償至少 20 萬元，案件周三（16 日）於區域法院聆訊。法官羅麗萍聽畢陳詞，將於 6 個月內判定賠償金額。
受襲警庭上稱，案發時他為拯救同僚在「電光火石」間衝前，被示威者包圍襲擊。警又指，他當時失去視覺，感到有人欲搶其警棍，但警棍是「致命武器」，所以其「求生意志」驅使他一直堅持，直至同伴解圍。他指，當時感到驚恐，眼角膜亦留疤痕，但不影響視力。

九龍城潑水節｜3男被指向警員記者射水6罪罪成 官：行為超越可接受標準
At the Kowloon City Water Splashing Festival on April 9, 2023, three men, including Tsang Wai-sing, known as “Brave Dog”, were accused of assaulting three auxiliary police officers and three TVB News reporters. They denied six charges of assaulting police officers and common assault, but were convicted on all charges at Kowloon City Magistrates’ Courts on Wednesday (16th). The three defendants were remanded in custody until November 1 for sentencing.
Magistrate Brian Chi Fai Chan said the defendants must have known the identities of the police officers and reporters. In particular, the three auxiliary police officers were wearing uniforms and were present to maintain order. Even though two male officers were wearing wreaths and had powder painted on their faces, they were merely standing outside a shop and were not holding water guns or containers for playing, making it clear that they were not participants.
The magistrate stressed that the court had not ignored the fact that the incident occurred during the Water Splashing Festival, where splashing water carries a blessing. However, the defendants sprayed water from close range and clearly intentionally targeted the complainants’ eyes, ears, faces and other areas. Their conduct necessarily exceeded the generally acceptable standards of the festival. Descriptions such as “rough play” and “just fooling around” did not apply, and the court found that the defendants had intentionally used force against the complainants.
2023 年 4 月 9 日九龍城潑水節，被稱為「勇狗」的曾維誠等 3 名男子，涉襲擊 3 名輔警及 3 名《無綫新聞》記者，他們否認 6 項襲警和普通襲擊罪，周三（16日）在九龍城裁判法院被裁定全部罪名成立，3 名被告還押至 11 月 1 日判刑。
裁判官陳志輝指，被告必然知悉警員及記者的身分，尤其 3 名輔警身穿軍裝，當日在場維持秩序。即使兩名男警戴上花圈、臉塗上粉末，他們僅站在商舖門外，手上沒有持水槍或器皿玩樂，明顯不是參加者。
官強調，沒忽視本案在潑水節發生，而潑水有祝福的意思，但被告近距離、明顯有意圖向各事主的眼、耳、面部等位置射水，行為必然超越潑水節一般可接受的標準，「粗野嬉戲」、「玩吓」等形容並不適用，裁定被告蓄意向事主施加武力。
