I did not see blows struck before Leung Ki fell. I did not see what

caused him to fall. I did not see what happened before the chase

with the chopper. I did not see if Leung Ki waɛ angry or threatened

accused Accused was sitting on a stool when Leung Ki gave him

three days. When Leung Ki tapped him on the shoulder accused was

standing up. Accused was atanding up when Leung Ki spoke to him.

I was sitting behind my stall, between it & the wall.

Accused chased Leung Ki from this box to first row of public benches

before Leung Ki fell.

I remained seated all the time. Leung Ki didn't strike accused

blow on the shoulder but only a tap with the open hand.

Accused did not fall back several paces. The re was not a running

fight but a chase.
