Three Hong Kong policemen were arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of assault over the beating in a public hospital of an elderly man who had been restrained on a stretcher for drunken behaviour.

Police promised to investigate the case with “absolute impartiality” after shocking video footage of the incident was released by an opposition lawmaker, sparking citywide outrage.
