He was sentenced to 10 months’ jail for one count of voluntarily causing hurt using a dangerous weapon.
When the Mandarin interpreter relayed to Ng that his appeal was dismissed and asked whether he would defer the sentence or begin serving immediately, Ng sat quietly while shaking his head. A few minutes later, he decided to start his sentence.While his case was at the lower court, Ng claimed that the victim had asked him to beat him and teach him. He added that he learned how to throw fake punches when he was an actor and did not really hit the victim.
During his appeal in the High Court, Ng hired lawyer Chung Ting Fai who asked for a lower sentence. The lawyer also requested the prosecution disclose the video footage purportedly showing Ng faking his punches while the victim pretended to be injured.Meanwhile, Mr Chung noted that the victim’s injuries would have been more severe if Ng had really used a metal scraper. There were also no witnesses to the alleged attack, only the victim’s testimony.
