The 2 men showed up in court together |
Two men, one of them a Filipino, appeared side by side at Eastern Court on Monday (March 11), two months after a fight that got them arrested for allegedly hurting each other.
Arturo Patricio, 47 years old and To Po-keung, whose age was
not disclosed in the charge sheet, were arrested after the alleged fight inside Neng Heng Seng House on Jervois St. in Sheung Wan last Jan 18.
How? Pindutin ito. |
Patricio was charged with assault occasioning bodily harm, a
violation of the Offenses Against the Person Ordinance, for allegedly hurting To.
To, on the other hand, was charged with wounding, also an
offense under the same law, for the alleged attack on Patricio.
TAWAG NA! |
Magistrate Stephanie Tsui adjourned the case to April 22 and granted bail of $3,000 each to both accused.
But before letting them go, she noted that both were not
represented and advised them to get their own lawyers or those provided for
free by the government, because she will not accept their having no lawyers as
reason for another adjournment.
PINDUTIN DITO |
Patricio and To arrived at the court together and sat beside
each other in the gallery the whole time that they waited for their case to be
called.
They also left together after their case was heard.
