    Here is the original video - taken by the Savantas candidate's crew.



    "A police spokeswoman said a man suffered a superficial injury to his elbow "

    Looking at the video, with the guy lying on the ground motionless, you would expect there to be more than superficial elbow injuries!

    Its a circus out there. 40-50 people waving and stepping in front of cars on the Sassoon Road junction. I guess they're just trying to get in front of the supporters and get some attention.

    Turn out does not seem all that great ..

    At 4.30pm today (September 5), 1,049 of the 5,021 registered electors of Pokfulam constituency had cast their ballots in the Southern District Council by-election, representing a turnout of 20.89%.
    Glad to see this all over and we can drive safely without worrying about running over one of the volunteers.

    Judging from the few facebook and YouTube comments I suspect the wold cup style fall encouraged a few more people to
    vote.

    Paul did win with a very convincing margin and to his credit he was at the round about thanking people.
