After last month's attack on Angela Tong in Wan Chai, yesterday, there was yet another artiste getting injured during a function. Singer Fiona Sit Hoi Kei attended a charity event at Mong Kok's Langham Place. During the function, a fan at a close distance, threw a plastic bottle and hit Fiona on the right side of her forehead. Another female employee of Commercial Radio was also hurt in the incident. The two were sent to the hospital for examination, and the male fan was arrested on the spot.
The suspect surnamed Lin (27 years old), is booked on assault charges. Yesterday at 3 pm, the McDonalds at Langham Place and Commercial Radio (CRHK) were holding a charity function "Ronald McDonald's Family Charity Fund Day." Fiona, Endy Chow, and Pakho Chau were all present. The three were about to come towards the fans with donation boxes, through a fire door backstage. Fiona led the way with Endy and Pakho following after. The suspect then approached the crowd of fans and citizens.
Fiona only walked two, three steps, before a man wearing a black baseball cap, who was at a distance of 1 meter away, suddendly threw a plastic bottle containing water at the singer. The bottle first hit the head of a female employee of CRHK (23 years old), before hitting Fiona's forehead on the right side.
The right side of Fiona's forehead immediately swelled up and she was in pain. With her assistant and eyes red, she immediately exited through the fire door. And the suspect was immediately held by the mall security. Pakho and Endy were both shocked and after recovering, continued the charity function.
After the paramedics arrived, Fiona and the CRHK employee were brough to the emergency room in the hospital. During the wait for the emergency room, Fiona was talking to someone on the phone saying "I don't know! Except it really hurts and it's swollen!" At 4 pm, she left the hospital after x-rays showed that she was fine.
Fiona said that the accident was very surprising and that the fundraising for the event had not even started yet. But she was very close to the fans, but "the fans were very good." After she got hit, she felt a little dizzy. When asked if she had any enemies or if she saw the attacker, she said "I don't know."
She said, "At first, I thought it was a light that fell! It was forceful, I immediately cried." But she said that it was "OK!" now but did not blame the mall security. Fiona replied that she would not let the incident prevent her from attending future charity events, and she felt the incident had nothing to do with the function. After accepting interviews, her mood has not recovered yet and was crying. After the hospital, she went to the police station to give a statement.
When asked if the incident had anything to do with her earlier statements on the Edison scandal, Fiona responded, "I'm not too clear on that."
As for the suspect, he claimed that the matter was an accident. It was only because someone pushed him.

Fiona has responded to her fans on her blog, saying that she is ok.
