Pro-democracy Dessert Shop Attacked by Men in Black; 1 Arrested While 4 on the Loose

Hk9cake, a dessert shop in Kwai Chung Plaza was been ransacked in late evening on February 12, with five people clothed in black barging into the shop with plastic rods, and attacking two employees, who were cleaning the shop at the time. The two employees had fallen down during the attack.

A 30-year-old employee surnamed Tai had injuries on his hands and head, while the other 24-year-old employee surnamed Ho had injuries on the back and head.

A 38-year-old man had injuries on his hands while attempting to put a stop to the attack. They were sent to Princess Margaret Hospital to be treated.

The Police intercepted at 37-year-old man surnamed Keung, who was sent to the hospital after he reported injuries to his foot.

After initial investigations, the Police has arrested Keung on charges of wounding. The case is being followed up by Kwai Tsing District Investigation Team Four. Four people are still on the loose.

#Hk9cake posted on their social media on Saturday night, stating that at around 10pm, two employees were attacked by five people clothed in black. The employees suffered bone fractures and were bleeding, and were sent to the hospital.

Hk9cake also stated that pro-Beijing supporters had instigated a verbal confrontation earlier at noon, and were suspected of stepping into the shop’s boundaries in the afternoon.

They asked for the public to provide information regarding the attack, and promised a reward for their troubles. The shop remains closed until an unspecified date.

Hk9cake was opened by #AhLong (阿龍), an engineer arrested during the protests, in July 2020. The shop sells soufflé pancakes, and had organised several “limtied-edition shop manager days” to support those arrested in the protests.

Cabinet ministers voice security fears as Boris Johnson seeks closer ties to China

A cabinet split over UK-China relations has deepened after it emerged the prime minister is seeking to boost trade with the economic superpower.

Boris Johnson and chancellor Rishi Sunak are looking to form what sources close to them describe as a more pragmatic and balanced approach to ties with Beijing.

The tone adopted by No 10 and 11 is at odds with what some cabinet figures view as a mounting threat to British security from the world’s second-largest economy.
