A senior Hong Kong police officer has been suspended after alleged indecent assault

The 49-year-old officer was arrested in Yuen Long on Tuesday. He was later released on bail and must report next month, a police spokesman said on Wednesday, without giving details.

The officer was suspended, the spokesperson said.

The Hong Kong Island Regional Crime Unit is investigating.
