Ng Lai-ying, a 30-year-old
woman from Hong Kong, was arrested after allegedly assaulting a police officer
during a protest on March 1.
In
court Lai-ying claimed that an officer had reached out to grab her bag, but had
made contact with her breast instead, at which point she allegedly screamed out
‘indecent assault!’.
However
the magistrates did not believe her story, and even accused her of using her
‘female identity to trump the allegation that the officer had molested you’,
which they called a ‘malicious act’, according to the South China Morning Post.
While there are no
details of what injuries the officer received (of how it is even possible to
injure someone with your breasts), officer Chan Ka-po asserted
that Lai-ying ‘bumped’ his arm with her breast.
Footage
from the protest showed Lai-ying with blood streaming from her nose, leading
many to claim that she was in fact the person assaulted during the arrest.
