Therefore, they went to stop it, but suddenly, he heard the sound of a thrust and the motorcycle crashed into him.
82. After the crash, he lost his balance and fell onto the ground. He then picked himself up and went to help subdue the Defendant. He observed that the Defendant was trying to flee because the Defendant was moving his arms and legs. Later, he asked the Defendant if he was injured. However, the Defendant did not reply. PW9 told us that the Defendant was moved from the position where he fell because people were throwing items at them and causing a commotion. He estimated that there were about 20 to 30 onlookers on the footbridge.
83. Under cross-examination, PW9 agreed that in P42, after the Defendant fell onto the ground, the Defendant was surrounded by the police, as can be seen on the tape.
84. PW9 has not yet recovered fully as his left wrist hurts when he moves it, and therefore, even the task of twisting a water bottle is more difficult for him. He still has pain on his left shoulder and his left waist, also numbness on the waist. It has been a year after the crash but he still needs to attend follow-up once every 3 months to be X-rayed.
85. PW10 (DPC 2674) was one of those officers who were hit by the Defendant’s motorcycle. His right thumb still cannot exert to the same strength as before, and the range of bending was not like before, only up to 45 degrees. He still has to attend rehabilitation for his thumb.
