Regarding the attack on citizens at Yuen Long Station of West Rail on Sunday evening, Hong Kong police said late Monday that a search operation began at dusk and six men involved, some of them with underworld background, have been arrested so far. The police also pointed out that the search operation is still active and believe that more people will be arrested later.
Chen Tianzhu, Senior Police Chief of the Criminal Headquarters of North New Territories, briefed the media last night on the case, saying that the police attach great importance to the violence cases involving multiple injuries on Sunday. After various searches, including CCTV, online clips and intelligence gathering, they have acquired the information of several persons involved, and so far they have already done so. Six men aged 24-54 were arrested in Yuen Long and Tin Shui Wai districts. They reported that their occupations included drivers, hawkers, decoration workers and unemployment. Some of them had underworld background.
"The arrests are believed to have participated in Sunday night's West Rail Station incident. As for how to prosecute, the police will not rule out other charges after further investigation and legal advice." Chen Tianzhu said.
When asked about the motives of the arrested men, Chen Tianzhu said that he would continue to investigate, but reiterated that the police would never tolerate any violence. If anyone breaks the law, regardless of their political attitudes and background, they will definitely enforce the law decisively. The police will actively search for evidence to bring them to justice.
