“Bosco Chun Ho Wang, an 18-year-old Chinese national and Singapore permanent resident, was given one charge each of public nuisance and voluntarily causing hurt.”

VERIFIED BY REFERENCE

The provided evidence contains reports of other men being arrested for public nuisance and voluntarily causing hurt, but none of the sources mention a person named 'Bosco Chun Ho Wang' or an 18-year-old Chinese national/PR. The Wikipedia results refer to a famous actor named Bosco Wong, which is unrelated.
