Unsatisfied Cellphone Customer Arrested for Assault
.
Summary:
Not realising the slow network speed was part of his cellphone plan and mistaking it as a service downgrade, a fiery 44-year-old man resorted to violence as he made an inquiry at a SUN Mobile store in To Kwa Wan, throwing a punch at one of the police officers who happened to pass by and attempted to mediate the situation. The man was arrested for assault and, naturally, failed to get his network speed restored.

Language Enhancement:
Mediate (v.)(調停)
Mediation (n.)(調停)
Mediator (n.)(調解員)
如果出現分歧甚至是嚴重的紛爭,就需要有第三方協助調停和尋求解決方法,也就是 mediate 和 mediation 的意思。負責進行調解的人員是 mediator(s)。
e.g. Nancy has great potential to be a mediator. I once saw her prevent a fight between two people.
e.g. We must only pursue legal action as a last resort. We should try to mediate the situation first.
