Hong Kong police have announced they will not be charging basketball coach Yung Kam-wah with common assault following a viral video appearing to show him abusing a student. The video, circulating online in early June, depicted a coach allegedly forcing a student to repeatedly slap himself on a school basketball court. Yung was arrested shortly after the video’s release and an investigation commenced. However, authorities have now stated that the evidence gathered is insufficient to pursue charges. The case sparked public outrage and debate regarding coaching practices and student welfare. Despite the public outcry, without sufficient evidence, prosecution is not possible at this time. Further details regarding the investigation have not been released.
