Hong Kong court upholds convictions of Cardinal Joseph Zen and others over protester relief fund
Three women were granted bail after being charged with fighting in a Hong Kong mall's children's play area, and barred from returning to the venue. Leung Lai-ha, 68, her daughter Ng Ka-wun, 34, and Xu Yang, 34, appeared at Kwun Tong Court to face charges. Their altercation, captured in a viral video, showed the adults physically fighting, with Xu slapping Leung and the elderly woman hitting back.
The video also shows Ng entering the fight, scuffling with Xu as it turned into a brawl. Although the source does not specify the reason for the fight, Xu, who is from mainland China, was knocked to the ground. Leung, the mother, was charged with common assault for hitting a five-year-old girl. Both Leung and Ng are Hong Kong residents, while Xu is from mainland China and holds a two-way entry permit.
The court imposed conditions on their bail, including a ban on leaving Hong Kong and returning to APM shopping centre. The cash bail was increased from HK$1,000 to HK$5,000 for each defendant. The next hearing is scheduled for November 5.
