| Auxy Sergeant injured foiling possible armed bank robber | |
|
CP Eddie Hui Ki-on recently paid a hospital
visit to recovering Auxiliary Police Sergeant Chau Yuk-sheung who sustained injuries after
grappling with a gunman on the staircase of a Tsuen Wan building.
The incident occurred after Sergeant Chau spotted the man acting suspiciously outside a Tsuen Wan bank on 18 August. When the suspect was challenged by the officer, the man pulled a gun on Sergeant Chau, who returned fire with a single shot. In the ensuing physical struggle the man got away, leaving the Sergeant with a fractured arm and emotionally shaken. |

Heavily armed police were deployed to the area and cordoned off part of Castle Peak Road to search for the gunman who managed to flee the scene. A .38 calibre slug and a live .22 calibre bullet cartridge were found. Both Commissioner of Police Hui, and District Commander of Tsuen Wan Ho Tse-tong, praised Sergeant Chau for foiling what in all probability would have been an attempt at armed robbery. | |
