Police were called to the scene by a woman who reported that her ex-husband had threatened and physically attacked her 46-year-old boyfriend. After a preliminary investigation, the ex-husband, surnamed Tse, was arrested on suspicion of "criminal intimidation" and "common assault." He is currently in custody for further questioning.
