Hong Kong tourist was misunderstood and beaten for shouting due to Tourette's syndrome, police punished two assailants

A Hong Kong tourist named Han who came to Taiwan suffered from Tourette's syndrome. After taking the Taipei MRT and arriving at Shilin Station, he was suspected of being uncontrollable due to the onset of the disease. He yelled at the entrance of Shilin Station. Two plumbers who were there at the time mistakenly thought that they were being insulted for no reason. They turned around and tried to argue with Han but failed, and beat him up on the spot. The police later learned that the two men were a 42-year-old man surnamed Chen and a 33-year-old man surnamed Yang, and summoned them to the case. They claimed that they thought they were being scolded and went to argue with the other person but they spoke Cantonese, so they punched him.

The police pointed out that a Hong Kong tourist surnamed Han visited Taiwan a few days ago. He took the Taipei MRT and arrived at Shilin Station at 5 pm the day before yesterday. Then he was suspected of having an attack of his own illness. He involuntarily shouted loudly at the entrance and exit.

The police in the jurisdiction rushed to the scene, but the attacker had already left. Han Nan also said that considering that he had other subsequent trips and could no longer stay in Taiwan, he considered himself unlucky and did not want to file a complaint.

However, the police still launched an investigation. Based on the images taken by witnesses at the scene and the surrounding surveillance footage, the police identified the attackers as a 42-year-old man surnamed Chen and a 33-year-old man surnamed Yang.

The police summoned Chen and Yang to the case. They went to the police station at noon yesterday. They claimed that they were waiting for someone at the scene and mistakenly thought that Han was yelling at him for no reason. They came forward to argue, but they did not expect that Han opened his mouth and spoke fiercely in Cantonese. They could not understand it at all. In desperation, they punched the opponent in anger and wanted to teach him a lesson. The police finally punished the two people for violating the law of maintaining social order.
