Au Nok-hin spared jail over loudhailer assault

Ousted lawmaker Au Nok-hin, convicted of assaulting two police officers by using a loudhailer during clashes in Yau Ma Tei last year, has been ordered to perform 140 hours of community service by the Kowloon City Magistrates' Courts today.

Au, 32, was found guilty of assaulting police public relations branch superintendent Bon Ko Chun-pong and constable Kwan Chi-ho on July 8 last year at the intersection of Nathan Road with Dundas and Hamilton streets.

He had denied the charges.
