A local resident was wounded when he came to the aid of an Epoch Times staffer who was attacked with a knife on the evening of June 12 while covering events related to a key protest movement anniversary in Hong Kong.

Jerry, a part-time videographer with the publication’s Hong Kong edition, was live-streaming in the area of Kwun Tong around 9 p.m. local time, where a street stand was set up with photos and signage related to Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement. Police were nearby patrolling the area.

A group of about a dozen citizens got into a heated argument, with some people pushing and shoving each other, Jerry said. He has chosen to withhold his surname for safety reasons.
