A Filipino construction worker who threatened to harm a woman, got off lightly today after facing a charge of criminal intimidation at Kowloon City Court.
Instead, A. Bacunawa, 51 years old, was bound over to
a promise not to commit the same offense for 36 months or he would be made
to pay a fine of $2,000.
After Bacunawa agreed to be bound over, prosecutors withdrew
the charge.

| TAWAG NA! |
The police complaint accused Bacunawa of threatening “female
X with injury to her person, with intent to alarm her.”
The incident occurred last Jan. 3 in a flat in Man Cheong
Bldg, Man Cheong Street, Kowloon.

| PINDUTIN DITO! |
Under the Crimes Ordinance, criminal intimidation is
punishable by a fine of $2,000, and
imprisonment of up to two years if convicted summarily or up to five years if convicted
upon indictment.
