- The principal of Tung Wan Mok Law Shui Wah School told Sing Tao the pair were Form One classmates who had been enrolled for less than a month.
- According to the principal, the fight broke out after a Chinese lesson as the students were preparing to leave class, apparently after an exchange during a salute, and both had special educational needs or weaker emotional and behavioural control.
Why It Matters
The case remains under police investigation, so the exact trigger for the fight and the final handling of the two arrests may still change. The school said it had informed parents immediately and would step up counselling to help the students learn tolerance and proper ways to express emotions.
