21-year-old student being kicked in the lower body and beaten to bone fracture by police after arrest

A 21-year-old student was previously charged with two counts, for blocking the way with his bicycle during the "Operation Dawn" on 13 November. The prosecution has withdrawn the charge of possession of offensive weapons, and revised the charge of "disorder in public places" under the Public Order Ordinance to a lighter one “obstruction of public places" under the Summary Offences Ordinance.

The defence complained that the defendant’s leg and lower body were beaten by the police with hard objects while lying on the ground after being arrested and completely subdued, resulting a broken leg. Also, the police spread his legs with force and kicked his lower body from behind when the defendant was lying on the ground.
