The video was shot by a 21-year-old accountant and part-time psychology student identified as Jon Fong Wing Hang (Chinese: 方穎恆; pinyin: Fāng Yǐnghéng; Jyutping: fong1 wing6 hang4).[1] In a radio station phone-in on 25 May 2006, Fong said he recorded the incident on a mobile phone in case the abusive man became violent. He claimed there was a second video yet to be posted online in which the younger man fought back by making fun of "Bus Uncle" with a friend on the phone.[9] However, Fong "told reporters that he often takes videos as a hobby, and had just planned to share this one with friends."[4] The video clip has English subtitles which, while erroneous in parts, never stray far from the general tenor of the Cantonese version.[10]
