A 12-year-old girl was buying art supplies with her family but was caught in a protest crowd and was arrested by the Hong Kong police.
The video, widely shared across social media, shows that an officer tackled the girl to the ground and several others tried to pin her down. This spurred strong criticism over the rough arrest. Hong Kong police claimed in a statement that the girl had run “in a suspicious manner” and they had used “minimum necessary force” to arrest her.
However, the girl’s version is totally different. She said the streets were blocked off by police cordons, so she and her brother tried to double back to meet their family. Then, the police suddenly ran toward her. The girl’s mother intends to make a formal complaint.

香港一名 12 歲女孩跟家人外出買美術用品，無意間被困在參與抗爭的人群中，竟被香港警察逮補。
從社群平台上流傳的影片顯示，一名香港警察把這名女孩抓到地板上，其他人隨後跟著壓制她，讓許多人抨擊行動過於粗暴。但警方在聲明中表示，他們看到女孩用「形跡可疑方式」逃跑，才會以「最小的武力」逮捕她。
但女孩說的故事版本，可就完全不一樣了。她說那天外出時，才發現路上都被警方警戒線切斷了，所以她跟哥哥只好原路折返去找家人，卻看到警方朝她跑來。女孩的母親表示，將提出正式投訴。
