The 36-year-old jobless suspect surnamed Ramos holds a Filipino passport.
According to Lam, PSP officers on patrol noticed a man riding unsteadily a bicycle in Avenida do Comendador Ho Yin (何賢紳士大馬路). The officers stopped the man and found him reeking of alcohol and gave him a breathalyser test.
Ramos’s alcohol concentration was 1.28 grammes of alcohol per litre of blood. Under questioning, Ramos admitted to drinking during a barbecue party with friends earlier that day in Dr Sun Yat-sen Municipal Park (鴨涌河公園/紀念孫中山市政公園). The case has been transferred to the Public Prosecutions Office (MP) awaiting trial, Lam said.
