Student arrested for allegedly possessing offensive weapon in museum

A student was found in possession of a set of brass knuckles at the Hong Kong Palace Museum, marking the second such incident within half a month.

At around 10:30 AM, police received a report from staff at the Hong Kong Palace Museum. They stated that during a security check on a male student, security guards discovered a set of brass knuckles hidden in his bag. Following an on-site investigation, police arrested the 13-year-old student for "possession of an offensive weapon."

Last month, on the 24th, a 12-year-old student was also found with a switchblade, a butterfly knife, a gravity knife, and a set of brass knuckles in their backpack during a security screening at the Hong Kong Palace Museum.
