“The president of the Baptist University's Student Union, Keith Fong, was arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon on Tuesday, after police said he was carrying 10 laser pointers in Sham Shui Po. Four plainclothes officers surrounding Fong and shouting at him, accusing him of trying to escape when they approached him. Fong says he only tried to run away as he didn’t know who they were. He repeatedly asks the officers why he is being held.”
