A Hong Kong localist leader accused of fighting a reporter at an MTR station in August is seeking a more effective way to handle the court case while the other party indicated on Friday he intends to plead not guilty.
Edward Leung Tin-kei, 25, of Hong Kong Indigenous, and Lo Wing-yin, 42, were charged with one joint count of fighting in a public place, an offence punishable by a HK$5,000 fine and 12 months’ imprisonment.
Hong Kong localist leader Edward Leung held over fight with pro-Beijing newspaper journalist
Prosecutors alleged the pair took part in “an unlawful fight” at Tai Koo MTR station on August 13.
A duty lawyer for Lo said he was ready to plead not guilty.
But Leung’s counsel, Noel Lau, claimed his team had yet to receive all documents.
He asked for more time to see if the case could be handled in “a more effective way”. It is understood that may include settling through a bind-over order.

Magistrate Jason Wan Siu-ming adjourned the case to January 13.
In the meantime, both defendants were freed on HK$1,000 cash bail on condition they report to police regularly and reside in their reported addresses.
