Centaline founder Shih Wing-ching attacked on way to work
Police are seeking two men who intercepted the property agency boss and smashed his carwindow in Tai Kok Tsui yesterday morning
The outspoken Centaline Property Agency co-founder Shih Wing-ching was attacked in his car while on his way to work yesterday morning, but he escaped without injuries.
Shih, 64, was driving from his Kowloon Tong home to his Centaline office in Central about 10am when two men in a car intercepted him on Chui Yu Road in Tai Kok Tsui.
The pair, each holding a hammer, approached his vehicle and smashed one of its windows, a police source said. Shih managed to reverse his car out of the situation and escaped.
The attackers then fled in their vehicle, which had a fake licence plate. They were seen heading towards Sham Shui Po via Sham Mong Road, police said.
Police yesterday failed to track down the men, who are believed to be in their 30s and were described as being slim-built and about 1.7 metres tall. They had short black hair and were wearing long pants.
Shih said he had no idea who might have been behind the attack. "I don't think I have too much bad blood with people. At most, you can say I said something wrong and made some people angry," he said.
He declined to comment further while the case was being investigated.
