A man was stabbed in the chest yesterday in a robbery at his home.
The raid is believed to have been carried out by three mainland illegal immigrants who escaped with $250,000 in cash and jewellery from a Kowloon Tong house last week.
Yesterday, three robbers climbed into a fifth-floor apartment in Pilgrims Way, Beacon Hill, through an unlocked window on the balcony at about 5am.
They took a knife from the kitchen before approaching the master bedroom, waking the 49-year-old man and his wife.
Chief Inspector Ho Yuen-ha said the man was stabbed in the chest and then the couple were pushed into a bathroom.
The robbers ransacked the premises and fled with $2,000 and a video camera. The couple hurled objects out of the bathroom window to alert police.
