A 41-year-old man will be charged in court on 27 April 2022 for an alleged offence of voluntarily causing grievous hurt at United Square.
On 6 November 2021, the Police received a report that a 56-year-old Security Officer, who was directing traffic at United Square, was confronted by the man at the drop-off point of United Square. During the confrontation, the man had allegedly pushed him on the chest, causing him to fall and suffer a left wrist fracture.
The man will be charged with voluntarily causing grievous hurt under Section 325 of the Penal Code. The offence carries an imprisonment term which may extend to 10 years, a fine or caning.
The Police take a serious view of the harassment and abuse of Security Officers. Security Officers play an important role in ensuring the safety and security of the premises and of the occupants where they are deployed. Due to the public-facing nature of their work, they face a greater risk of confrontation with people when carrying out their duties. Offenders who harass and abuse Security Officers in the course of their work will be dealt with firmly, and in accordance with the law.
