A man allegedly pushed a Food and Environmental Hygiene Department officer to the ground after being stopped for suspected spitting on a street in Sham Shui Po on Wednesday evening, leaving the officer injured and requiring hospital treatment. Two FEHD officers, a man and a woman, attempted to stop a middle-aged man who had allegedly been spitting on the ground. The man refused to cooperate and tried to leave, then pushed the 45-year-old male officer, causing him to fall. After more than 20 seconds of struggle, the man forcefully pushed the male officer to the ground, then accused the officer of "pretending." The case is being handled by the Sham Shui Po district criminal investigation team.
