SCMP Reporter

THE parents of a spurned teenager slashed his former girlfriend's face, the District Court was told yesterday.

   Ng Chun-chun, 18, said she decided to end her romance with Lam Chun-hung, 19, after she began dating the 24-year-old manager of the Mongkok restaurant where she worked.

  But her former schoolmate refused to accept her decision, the court heard.

  He continued to follow her to work and phoned her during the night. When his attempts to win her back failed, he asked his parents to talk to her.

  After finishing their shift at the restaurant on October 10, she and the manager, Leung Ching-wan, were met by Mr Lam and his mother, Au Yeung-mei.

  'They wanted to have a few words with me and my boyfriend, so we went to a nearby park and sat on a bench,' Ms Ng said.

  'His mother was very angry and she told me to split with my new boyfriend and go back to her son, but I told her that was impossible.'   While the argument continued, Mr Lam's step-father, Wong Cheuk-wing, arrived with a bottle of beer. He and another man and woman surrounded Ms Ng and Mr Leung.

  Wong, 34, a garment worker, smashed the bottle on the bench and thrust it at Mr Leung cutting his face and hand, the court heard.

  'The glass splinters hit my face and I was very scared, so I grabbed my boyfriend,' Ms Ng said.

  'Then his mother shoved the broken bottle into the corner of my mouth, which started to bleed profusely, and she cut my finger.'   Wong and Au, a 39-year-old karaoke hostess, deny wounding with intent. Mr Lam has not been charged.

  The trial continues on Monday before Judge H. C. Wong.
