Former Hong Kong Cantopop singer Roy Chow Wing-hang has been arrested for illegally riding an electric unicycle in Tin Shui Wai, with a viral video showing him being emotional when several police officers subdued him.
The force said on Monday that Chow, 40, was apprehended for using the device without a third-party insurance and riding it on the pedestrian road of Tin Wu Road. He was granted bail but was required to report to police in mid-May.
The former singer passed both a breathalyser and a rapid oral fluid test against drug driving, according to a source.
In the video circulated online, Chow appears agitated as he shouts “I did not hit anyone” and “save me” while he is being intercepted by police officers.
The officers – both in uniform and plain clothes- then restrain him with force, telling him “do not move, or you’ll get hurt”, before handcuffing and pinning him to the ground.
The arrest was part of a police operation targeting illegal electric mobility devices in the area.
