Remember the photos of half-naked firemen seemingly getting hazed – in one case by a cream-like substance being smeared between the victim’s bum cheeks – in October last year? Well it seems Hong Kong’s feisty firemen are at it again.
The Fire Services Department (FSD) is investigating after a video seeming to show two firemen being forced to bear their genitals, which were covered in black marks for some reason, was leaked yesterday.
The SCMP reports that the FSD is treating it as a case of sexual assault, although no complaint has so far been made.
The 30-second video shows two men in fire service clothing. One is trying to cover his bare privates with his hands and yelling while those around him laugh and try to move his hands away. The other man is held down and unable to move as his pants are pulled down by those around him.
An investigation committee has been set up to look into the matter.
Chairman of the Hong Kong Fire Services Officers Association, Yang King-sang, said, “No matter whether it was filmed at work or in someone’s spare time or it was a case of humiliation or made just for fun, what happened in the video was intolerable.”
He added, “They are all adults. Members of disciplinary forces should watch their conduct as they should maintain greater integrity.”
