Sixth man linked to Yuen Long MTR station attack in Hong Kong surrenders himself to police and is bailed by Fanling Court
- Truck driver Ng Wai-nam appears in Fanling Court to face rioting charge
- He was not required to make plea as police need further time for enquiries
A sixth man linked to an attack on protesters and passengers at Hong Kong’s Yuen Long MTR station has surrendered himself to police nearly two months after the incident, a court heard on Wednesday.
Truck driver Ng Wai-nam, 57, was taken to Fanling Court in a wheelchair to face a rioting charge.
His lawyer, Stephen Ma Tsz-on, told the court Ng had heart problems and required regular medication.
Ng allegedly took part in the attack with about 30 others at the station, which broke out overnight between July 21 and 22 and targeted black-clad protesters returning from an earlier demonstration in another part of the city.
He was picked out by a prosecution witness at an identification parade and, upon consulting legal advice, surrendered to Tai Po police station on Tuesday.
He was not required to make plea at his first hearing, as police needed further time for enquiries.
