For the past three years, a Singaporean woman said she has been tormented by an incident in Taiwan where she was punched by a police officer. She ended up suing the officer, who was charged with intentional injury. Both parties appeared in a Taipei court on Tuesday (July 2). The woman, known only as Xu, had gotten into an argument on June 29, 2021 with medical staff at Cheng Hsin General Hospital in Taipei, where her husband was warded, reported Taiwanese media outlet ETtoday. She was subsequently arrested and detained by the police. The next day, Xu was taken into an interrogation room, where she argued with a police officer surnamed Ding, over the issues of mask wearing and garbage disposal. As the altercation escalated, Ding punched Xu in the face, causing injury to her lip. In retaliation, she splashed a bottle of water at him and threatened to sue him.

Xu, however, refused to accept his apology and sued him instead. Read more
