Aide sorry for kicking pregnant womanThe China Post news staff February 23, 2013, 12:01 am TWN    Chen Yu-hsiang (陳宥祥), assistant to opposition Democratic Progressive Party councilor Yen Sheng-kuan (顏聖冠), made the apology during a press conference held yesterday in Taipei Chen admitted to kicking the pregnant woman, surnamed Wu, and his younger brother on Feb. 15. He, however, stressed that he assaulted the pair under the influence of alcohol and he was too drunk to remember the majority of events. Chen said he already apologized to Wu, who was four months pregnant at the time of the incident, and her family on Thursday night. Local media reported that the Wu's have accepted his apology and will not sue him over the incident. Chen added that he has already tendered his resignation to Yen, but noted that the resignation had been made in early Feb., before the incident occurred. During the press conference, Yen apologized to the Wu's and to the public over negligence in supervising her assistant. The incident reportedly occurred around 10 p.m. on Feb. 15 in a small alley in Wanhua District's Guangzhou Street (廣州街). Wu was sitting on a scooter rode by her brother as they tried to move forward in the small alley. The scooter was blocked by Chen and his friend. Both appeared to be drunk, according to the video footage released by local media yesterday. The footage was taken by a CCTV camera inside the alley. The Wu's asked Chen and his friend to make way by sounding the horn, a move that apparently angered Chen who, as appeared in the video footage, later attacked the two. Chen kicked Wu several times. He ceased his assault when Wu called for help from nearby shop owners, video footage showed.

March 1, 2013 johnny.brian@ Aides of DPP kicked pregnant and defenceless woman is totally unacceptable. DPP councilor Yen Sheng-kuan should also come out and make apology to the public, or he is bad example as a public servant. Well, on the other side, aides of any DPP need this kind of training, not to fight for the rights of Taiwanese, but for themselves as worthy DPPigs. March 2, 2013 michaeltaiwan@ This is disgusting. The DPP should be made to close down their party and only the KMT should be allowed to rule over the Taiwanese. There should be no opposition party and anyone who thinks so should be whipped. "Flying kick a pregnant woman as a punching bag"- yes that's what he did!! March 4, 2013 in.sanxia@ No surprise that this creepy guy is also in the DPP. Typical. March 5, 2013 miller.henry641@ Hmmm...a violent physical assault on a pregnant woman and another person - recorded on video and viewed by millions on public television - a confession of the act by the perpetrator - and the Taiwan POLICE do...nothing. 3rd world with good internet....nothing more...pathetic. March 6, 2013 miller.henry641@ Aggravated assault on a pregnant woman....public acknowledgement of the assault by the perpetrator...video recording evidence of the assault...actions by the Taiwan LEOs?Zip...zero...nada...do a Pai Say and On Your Way! March 8, 2013 elumpen@ "He, however, stressed that he assaulted the pair under the influence of alcohol and he was too drunk to remember the majority of events."Ah, so that's OK then, eh? How on earth does lowlife like this come to be in the employ of a major political party? This can't be the first time he's behaved like this. |
