Paramedics arrived late at Hong Kong car park where student was gravely injured in fall, witness tells inquest
- Tseung Kwan O resident Ricky Mung was among those to find student Alex Chow unconscious during protest last year, inquest hears
- Firefighters soon began offering Chow treatment, but paramedics did not arrive until almost 30 minutes after he was found, witness says
Tseung Kwan O resident Ricky Mung Wai-kit said medical workers from the Fire Services Department arrived at the Sheung Tak Estate car park nearly half an hour after he found an unconscious Alex Chow Tsz-lok lying face-down on the building’s second floor in the early hours of November 4, 2019.
The Coroner’s Court heard on Monday that Mung spotted the student at around 1.03am, shortly after a policeman fired a tear gas round into the same level at the other end of the car park in a bid to disperse protesters who were hurling glass bottles and traffic cones at officers.

Mung said he was chatting with other residents on a nearby footbridge when a teenager ran past him desperately calling for help.
