Hong Kong protests: pair bailed after overnight dispute outside residential estate office
- Men live at Richland Gardens in Ngau Tau Kok where angry crowd had confronted staff over changes to access codes
- Residents also said people wearing black had been stopped from getting back to their homes after civil unrest in Kwun Tong
Two men charged with hitting a police vehicle in a dispute over access to their flats during the protests in Hong Kong this weekend were ordered on Monday to stay away from the management office of their building, and obey a curfew by a court.
Lam Chi-hing, 35, a social service sector worker, and Ling Shing-chung, 26, a part-time employee at Hongkong Post, both live at Richland Gardens in Ngau Tau Kok, a residential neighbourhood in east Kowloon.
The pair appeared at Kwun Tong Magistrates’ Court on Monday, where they were each charged with one count of behaving in a disorderly manner in a public place.
Acting Principal Magistrate Ivy Chui Yee-mei adjourned the case until October 21.
Prosecutor William Wong Wa-fun said the justice department would also consider placing additional charges against the pair before the next hearing.
