Suspected case of bullying at Chai Wan school

A suspected case of bullying took place at S.K.H. Chai Wan St. Michael's School, with police having listed the case as assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

No one has been arrested so far.

The Education Bureau said it is extremely concerned about the situation and emphasised its zero-tolerance attitude towards bullying.

The police received reports on the 24th of last month of an 11-year-old boy suspected of being physically attacked at a school in Chai Wan three days prior.

The boy suffered injuries to his bottom and was conscious when sent to the hospital.

Reports say the boy's mother allegedly addressed the situation in detail on social media, saying that her son sustained severe injuries and could not sit or bend his back.

She further accused the school of failing to follow up on the situation.

Sources say the boy was playing with another classmate during recess during which the suspected attack happened.

The school subsequently noted that it had already contacted the Education Bureau, and stressed it will cooperate with the police.
