13th January 2020 – (Hong Kong) During the evening of 11th January, A bakery shop owned by Maxim’s Catering located at the basement of Un Chau Shopping Centre in Cheung Sha Wan was vandalised by 3-5 rioters clad in black. They smashed the display glass panels and hurled petrol bombs into the shop. Corrosive liquid was also splashed on a 35-year-old female customer and she sustained injuries. A 46-year-old staff immediately put out the fire caused by petrol bombs. Police have classified the case as criminal vandalism and assault causing bodily harm and they are currently looking for the perpetrators.

The bakery was covered by wooden panels earlier but they were duly removed three days ago after the overall sentiment improved. Unfortunately, rioters took the opportunity to destroy the shop again. Many eateries owned by Maxim’s group have been targeted by rioters in the past few months since the founder’s daughter openly expressed her support for Beijing government.
