The young woman fighting for her life after being attacked when she hailed a taxi may also have been sexually assaulted, it was revealed last night.
Chan Wing-yee, 26, was found lying in a pool of blood and naked from the waist down, police announced as they appealed for taxi drivers to come forward with information before the attacker struck again.
The driver, described as in his 40s and heavily built, shoved his victim out of the taxi and ran over her before speeding away.
Miss Chan had been unable to give police full details of the assault or her attacker before she fell unconscious.
The Kowloon nightclub public relations manageress only managed to say how her hands were tied with electrical wire and she had been robbed.
Last night, her boyfriend was keeping a vigil at her bedside in Kwong Wah Hospital.
Chief Inspector Patrick Laidler said it was believed the attack, in the early hours of Saturday, was random. It is suspected the taxi was stolen.
