The 66-year-old politician will appear in Sha Tin Court next Wednesday to address the allegations. Wong was arrested following the incident, in which he allegedly drove away from the scene and later parked outside a staff residence. He was subsequently released on bail and reported to police, apologizing for causing inconvenience and resigning as an associate dean at the university's engineering faculty. Wong is also a member of the CPPCC, Hong Kong's top political advisory body.",
