A man accused of deliberately driving his motorbike into a group of police officers became the first person in Hong Kong to be charged under Beijing's sweeping new national security law on Friday.

A police source said Mr Tong drove his motorbike into a group of police officers on Wednesday during protests against the security law.The source asked for anonymity in order to be able to speak freely. An earlier police statement gave the suspect's age as 24. Video footage captured by local television that day showed a man on an orange motorbike with a flag that declared"Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our Times" on the back.Bystander footage shot on a mobile phone captured a scene moments later, where the man was swiftly detained after he fell to the ground. Police at the time said three officers were wounded.

VeggieRt1984 I honestly doubt if he ram into the police or just running away from police.

Accused? The video is pretty clear that he was trying to run over officers and succeeded in seriously injuring three of them.

IMAGINE IF THIS HAPPENED IN FLINDERS STREET. WHAT WOULD WE SAY?

HERE IS MORE OF THESE PROTESTER'S BRUTAL WORK.

Sounds pretty repressive if you can't even ram the Police with your motorcycle without getting arrested I'm sure he wouldn't have been arrested in the US for something like this
