DANGEROUS CHINESE.
ASSAULT WITH A KNIFE. I IMPRISONMENT ORDERED. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) x TAIHAPE, Wednesday. Wong Gam Lee, a young man, v.as sentenced to-day to two months' im'' prisonment for assaulting Low Ching, a laundryman and fruiterer, at Taihape. Accused pleaded that there was some- I; thing wrong with his head. 5 Sergeant O'Neill said that Wong went to a shop in Taihape and attacked Low Ching with a knife and hoop. He evidently intended to throw the hoop over Ching's head and draw him on to the knife- Fortunately he failed, and as Low was running away Wong threw the knife and hoop at him. The sergeant said the other Chinese in Taihape were afraid of accused, and had written the police a note suggesting that he should be sent to Porirua. as they considered he was mentally deficient and might kill somebody. There was no doubt Wong Lee was a dangerous man. He had served a term of three months' imprisonment for forgery. If he were found to be mentally deficient the prison authorities would take suitable action. On being sentenced, accused said he would probably attack Low again when he came out. Low appeared alarmed, but was told by the police that he had nothing to fear. Auckland Star, Volume LIX, Issue 3, 5 January 1928, Page 5
