Police have successively apprehended 10 individuals; after further questioning by prosecutors tonight, three individuals, including a Chen surname man and two Tsai surname men, were deemed to be at risk of collusion and their detention was requested from the court.

Tseng Tsai Mei-tso's residence was invaded today by dozens of men in white who assaulted anyone they saw. Tseng Tsai Mei-tso, her son Tseng Wei-bin, and four others, totaling six people, were injured. Preliminary police investigation suggests that the incident may have been triggered by a group instigating trouble after drinking, leading to a physical altercation that resulted in multiple injuries and hospitalizations. The case was immediately reported to the Yunlin District Prosecutors' Office for investigation.
Prosecutor Peng Yen-ju of the Yunlin District Prosecutors' Office directed a special task force comprising the Yunlin County Police Department Criminal Investigation Division, Yunlin County Beigang Police Precinct, and the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the National Police Agency, Ministry of the Interior, to continue tracking down other individuals involved and clarify the background behind the gathering of the crowd.
Police successively apprehended 10 individuals involved in the case, which has been transferred to the Yunlin District Prosecutors' Office for investigation on charges of gathering to fight, assault, and violating the Organized Crime Prevention Act.
Regarding the 8 individuals who have already been brought in, after questioning by the prosecutor, three individuals – a Chen surname man (21 years old), a Tsai surname man (31 years old), and a Tsai surname man (18 years old) – were deemed to be heavily suspected of offenses such as disturbing public order and assault, and there was a risk of destroying evidence, colluding with accomplices and witnesses, so their detention was requested from the Yunlin District Court. For the other defendants who were brought in, it was deemed that detention was not necessary, and they were released on bail of NT$50,000 each. (Editor: Chang Ming-kun) 1150507
