The location of the incident is No. 33, Lung Sum Avenue. At around 12:00 midnight, the police received a report and arrived at the scene. During the time, an emotionally agitated woman refused to cooperate with the police and waved a kitchen knife about 30 centimeters long.

Allegedly, the arrested woman is surnamed Liu (32 years old), and she came to Hong Kong with a two-way exit permit. After the police conducted an initial investigation, they found that the incident occurred because the woman had a dispute with a staff member over a trivial matter. During their quarreling, the woman used the kitchen knife to damage the phone of the noodle restaurant.

The arrested woman was injured in her hand and was sent to the hospital for treatment. It is said that the woman has already suffered from emotional distress. Due to some payment problems at the noodle restaurant, she lost control and rushed into the kitchen of the restaurant to take out a knife, making the restaurant's owner call the police for help.
DUBLIN (AP) — A formal complaint had not been filed as of Monday in connection to reports that Pittsburgh Steelers player Skylar Thompson was assaulted and robbed in Dublin while his team was preparing to play a game in the city, Irish police said.
The national police, An Garda Síochána, said in a statement it did not have information to substantiate the robbery report involving Thompson, a reserve quarterback for the Steelers.
The Irish Independent newspaper had reported that “a number of males were involved in an assault on Thompson near the Temple Bar area” and that his phone was stolen.
Police said officers patrolling Dame Street became involved early Saturday when they encountered a man who required medical assistance.
“The male in his 20s was treated and assessed at the scene by emergency services personnel,” police said without commenting further about the assault report.
Steelers spokesman Burt Lauten said the team was “aware of a situation” involving Thompson on Friday night. He said the team would have no further comment until it and the NFL gathered more information.
The NFL declined to comment on Sunday.
The NFL Players Association said it was looking into the matter.
“As always, our priority is the health and safety of our player members — especially as we continue to work on the player protections and well-being while playing international games — and we will continue to support Skylar in any way he needs,” the association said.
Thompson, 28, has been on injured reserve and wasn’t eligible to play Sunday in what was Ireland’s first regular-season NFL game. The Steelers beat the Minnesota Vikings 24-21 at Croke Park. Thompson was at the game.
