Accused owed me money for a considerable time. I didn't know he was a refugee. I don't know if he is a hawker. I don't know if he has any parents. Leung Ki was a good friend of mine. It was just getting dark that evening. Accused was sitting on the first stool in photograph 2. Leung Ki was on my left when we crossed to accused. Leung Ki told accused if he didn't pay he would not be allowed in Chinese St. and then pushed him with his open hand. He didn't strike accused with his closed fist. Leung Ki didn't adopt a fighting attitude. Leung Ki looked very angry but he didn't raise his hand. I didn't see the chopper until accused picked it up. I didn't see accused back until he came to the chopper. Chopper was only 3 or 4 feet from where accused was standing. I didn't see any fight between Leung Ki and accused. I didn't run when I saw a fight. It is not true that I ran away and saw nothing. Accused was between Leung Ki & Des Voeux Rd. Leung Ki ran up Chinese St. When accused came up to the chopper Leung Ki was standing in the street opposite the middle stall. I didn't hear Leung Ki call on me to strike the accused.

When accused was talking to Leung Ki before he went to get the chopper he could have gone away if he wished to.

Coffee stallholder: stall is just inside Chinese St. as shown in photographs 1 & 2. On 28th Sept. about 7.30 p.m. I was at my stall. Accused was sitting on the first stool at my stall. Leung Ho Chi & Leung Ki were playing chess on the other side of the street. Then Chan Kam On came and asked accused to return him $50. Leung Ki then came up to accused and said "I'll give you 3 days to pay this money. If you fail you'll be driven away from Chinese St." Leung Ki then tapped accused on the shoulder with his open hand. They were then standing near the corner of the noodle stall. On the top of 3 boxes beside my ice chest I had a bread chopper. Accused when Leung Ki had spoken to him turned round, walked up to my stall and picked up my chopper. It was a narrow chopper
