| Scene of the fight |
An altercation that began over spilled water at a Sai Kung restaurant and escalated into a fight that led to one of them being taken to hospital, ended today at the Kwun Tong Court with all three protagonists – two Filipinas and one local -- agreeing to be bound over.
Acting Principal Magistrate Winnie Lau explained to the three – M.S., 47 years old and an estate agent; M.E., 37 years old and a domestic helper; and J.C., 45 and a restaurant manager – that with the bind-over, this case will not leave a stain on their clear records as long as they comply with conditions she would set.

Magistrate Lau bound them to a promise not to commit any
offense that involves violence for 15 months, or else they will be fined $1,500
and meted the punishment appropriate for the new offense.
She also charged them $300 each as court costs, to be taken
from their bail, which was also $300.

The prosecution withdrew the charge of fighting in a public place, a violation of Section 25 of the Public Order Ordinance, against the three.
According to a police report read during the hearing, the
fight happened on Nov. 17 last year at the outdoor dining area of the Feather and
Bone restaurant on Wan King Path in Sai Kung.

The three were dining peacefully when J.C., who was with M.E., spilled some water as he passed by M.S.
M.S. reacted by throwing a water bottle at M.E.
In turn, M.E. threw a plastic chair at M.S., who
retaliated by hitting her with her handbag.
M.E. later complained of having suffered abrasions, and
asked to be taken to a hospital.
