Hong Kong’s City University (CityU) has launched an investigation after a video surfaced showing a half-naked man carrying a woman wearing only a bra and shorts during a student-led orientation event.
The university issued a statement on Wednesday stressing “zero tolerance” of improper conduct after the clip appeared online showing the behaviour during a disco-themed party.
The clip has since been removed from Instagram, where it was first posted, but continues to circulate elsewhere on social media.
The event’s organiser – the management sciences society under the CityU Students’ Union – apologised for the incident and acknowledged that some participants had behaved inappropriately.
The society said the incident had taken place on the evening of August 27, the first day of its three-day orientation programme.
“Our members urged and reminded participants to avoid misconduct during the activity, but we failed to prevent the acts in a timely manner,” it said in a statement posted on social media.
