Woman reportedly lost control of emotions after failing to pay with WeChat<\/h3>\n

Police told HK01 that they were alerted at 12.14am that a woman was agitated and brandishing a weapon at the eatery in the Sheung Shui area.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old woman surnamed Liu, who is from Jilin Province of China, had arrived in Hong Kong on 2 Jan after travelling to Vietnam.<\/p>\n

After she finished her meal, she reportedly tried to pay with WeChat but failed as her phone was out of power.<\/p>\n

The shop owner suggested that she charge her phone on the spot, but she lost control of her emotions for some reason.<\/p>\n

Liu then took a chopper and a pair of scissors from the kitchen and waved them around, prompting staff and customers to flee.<\/p>\n

In the process, she also damaged a phone belonging to the eatery.<\/p>\n

Woman arrested for multiple offences<\/h3>\n

After the melee, the woman was sent to the hospital after suffering hand injuries, the police said.<\/p>\n

She has also been arrested for possession of an offensive weapon, criminal damage, and assaulting a police officer.<\/p>\n

She is currently in police custody, with the case referred to the Tai Po District Criminal Investigation Team.<\/p>\n
