A 66-year-old man was arrested in Tseung Kwan O early Wednesday morning after he was caught red-handed by police breaking the wings of a feral pigeon. The arrest came as police earlier received a video from a citizen that showed a person brutally killing a feral pigeon in King Lam Estate. Officers immediately intercepted the man and examined the pigeon’s condition, only to find its wings broken. Police said the arrestee was a resident of King Lam Estate and was a retiree. Police have yet to confirm the arrestee’s motive and believed he was discontent about nuisance and hygiene issues caused by feral pigeons in the area.
