A Singaporean law student has been charged in Hong Kong for assaulting his girlfriend.
Brandon Tee, 24, a student at the National University of Singapore, met Ju Benhua during a year-long student exchange at Hong Kong University.
The incident happened on 8 July. The couple had a fight in Tee's apartment in the Central district and he hit her.
His girlfriend filed charges after he allegedly attacked her.
Tee's mother said: "They were fighting and yes, he hit her, but it was a spur-of-the-moment thing and out of anger. We're hoping to settle this out of court."
Tee is currently out on HK$10,000 (S$1,500) bail. His parents have flown to Hong Kong to accompany their son during the court hearing.
The court hearing has been adjourned until 10 Aug as Ju – who is still in contact with Tee - is reluctant to take the witness stand.
