3 women arrested in Hong Kong after elderly woman filmed slapping girl, 5, at playground
Following investigations, the police believes the elderly woman may have been hit first by the girl's mother.
Three women were arrested in Hong Kong after an elderly woman slapped a five-year-old girl at a playground in a shopping mall. The incident occurred on August 26 in the APM mall's atrium in the Kwun Tong district. Footage showed the 68-year-old woman, identified as Leung, shoving the girl before slapping her across the face, causing her to fall to the ground.
The girl's mother and the girl's father, Ng, were also involved in the altercation. Tsui, another woman present at the scene, is said to have allegedly slapped Leung before the slap on the girl. All three women were charged with fighting in a public place, with Leung facing an additional charge of common assault. They are due to appear in court on September 3.
Ng was also suspended from her job at insurance provider AIA. The incident took place at a sports-themed playground in the mall, where the elderly woman, her daughter, and the girl's mother were all present.
