Hong Kong police have arrested a man for allegedly attacking five people, including two officers, at City University after he was asked to turn down the volume on his phone.
The force said on Tuesday that a 23-year-old man surnamed Wang was arrested a day earlier in Kowloon Tong on suspicion of attacking a woman, 39, with a chair and stealing some of her cash and personal belongings.
According to local media, the suspect became agitated when the woman asked him to turn down the volume of a video playing on his phone in a campus canteen.
A canteen employee tried to intervene but hurt his nose after Wang allegedly attacked him.
Three officers arrived on the scene at around 10.30am after receiving an incident report.
Wang is believed to have damaged one of the officers’ body cameras before running into a university library, where he attacked another man.
