A car jockey died in hospital yesterday about 13 hours after he was brutally beaten and knocked unconscious by at least two suspected triad members in Kowloon City.
In a video taken by a witness, the 35-year-old man working for restaurants near the junction of Prince Edward Road West and South Wall Road was seen being assaulted in a stairwell by two men at about 7.30pm on Sunday.
One of the attackers punched him in the face nine times in 12 seconds, while the other pinned him against the wall.


The victim was unable to defend himself and was seen losing consciousness and falling to the floor.
One of the attackers was seen kicking him as he lay on the ground.
Both men then left the site at a normal walking pace. Their faces were captured clearly in the clip.
The victim was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Surgery was attempted in order to remove a blood clot in his brain, but he was reported dead at 8.35am on Monday.
A witness said some restaurant diners tried to stop the attackers but were ignored.
Before the attack, the victim had allegedly been in an argument over car-parking business with two other car jockeys who reportedly called in at least two gangsters to give the victim a lesson, according to a police source.
“Two car jockeys who had allegedly argued with the victim were arrested in connection with the case,” the source said adding that officers were still searching for at least two other men who punched and kicked the victim.
According to police， the two suspects were nabbed in the early hours of Monday, before the victim died.
One suspect, aged 35, was picked up in Kwai Chung while the other, aged 21, was caught in Wong Tai Sin, according to police.
Yesterday afternoon, the pair were being held for questioning and had not been charged.
The Kowloon City district crime squad is investigating the case as a homicide. Officers believe the victim also had a triad background
