Hong Kong constable’s condition improving after fall from bridge: police chief

The condition of a Hong Kong police officer who fell 10 metres (33 feet) off a bridge to escape a crash is improving after he underwent an operation, the force’s commissioner has said, adding that the man remains in an intensive care unit.

Commissioner of Police Joe Chow Yat-ming on Saturday also expressed his gratitude towards Tuen Mun Hospital staff who operated on the constable for their dedication.

“[His] situation is becoming stable; we’ll closely monitor the situation,” Chow said.

A Hospital Authority spokeswoman said the injured officer was still in critical condition as of 9.30am on Saturday.

Asked about hate speech directed at police after the incident, Chow said he had not read the comments online, but hoped that people could look at the matter “in a humane way”.

On Friday, 10 people were injured when a double-decker bus crashed into a police vehicle.

The injured included the officer, who fell 10 metres from the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Western Corridor. His condition was listed as critical in the immediate aftermath of the accident.
