Hong Kong police have arrested a 13-year-old girl who allegedly assaulted and injured a 15-year-old student during a countdown celebration at a promenade dubbed the “Lan Kwai Fong of Gen Z”.
Police said that the incident involving the two girls – who knew each other – took place at around 1am on New Year’s Day at Kwun Tong Promenade.
“The victim had on multiple occasions spread false rumours about [the 13-year-old], making her upset,” acting chief inspector Leung Sze-nok of Kwun district police said.
The 13-year-old, who has no previous convictions, allegedly kicked and slapped the victim repeatedly when they met, causing multiple bruises on her body and face.
Leung added that police received a report at around 3am from the victim’s mother.
The 13-year-old was arrested at her Kwai Chung home on Thursday afternoon. She has been detained for further investigation.
