HKU virologist avoids conviction for assault and phone damage

A virologist from the University of Hong Kong, Vijaykrishna Dhanasekaran, has avoided a criminal conviction for assaulting a man and damaging his phone. He was placed on a two-year bind-over order and instructed to pay HK$800 in damages. The incident occurred at a Hong Kong MTR station when Dhanasekaran, an associate professor, got into a dispute with a retiree named Raimundo Kwok Chun-tung. The altercation involved both individuals filming each other with their phones, leading Dhanasekaran to knock the retiree's Samsung Galaxy Note 20 to the ground, push him, and kick the phone out of a lift.
