A retired police superintendent accused of slapping a field hockey teammate and rupturing his ear drum was cleared of assault on Tuesday after what his lawyer called a “disgraceful” prosecution.

Robin Jolly, 59, emerged from Kowloon City Court with a bright smile as he announced: “I think [the magistrate] made the right decision. Justice is seen to be done.”
