Attorney Li Yu-sheng of Fidelity Law Firm stated that the perpetrator's act of threatening to strike someone with an object constitutes disturbing the public in a public place. Under the Social Order Maintenance Act, this carries a penalty of up to three days of detention or a fine of up to NT$30,000. If the perpetrator frightens those around them, it may also constitute the crime of intimidation and endangering safety under the Criminal Code, punishable by up to two years imprisonment, detention, or a fine of up to NT$9,000. While this may not reach the point of imprisonment, a three-month prison sentence could be commuted to a NT$90,000 fine.
