Two British tourists who were beaten and raped at knifepoint on a remote hillside near the top of Tai Mo Shan helped police officers draw a sketch of the sex attacker yesterday.
Last night, the rapist described by police as a 'powerful man' was still at large. He is thought to have a bite mark on one shoulder after one of the victims bit him during a struggle.
The attacker is believed to be a South Asian or South American, about 1.77 metres tall with a strong build. Police said the man is thought to be aged about 30.
Assistant Tsuen Wan district commander (Crime) Superintendent Gareth Williams said the two victims had received medical treatment and counselling.
'They will continue to receive full medical and psychological assistance [arranged by police],' he said.
Police refused to disclose whether the two women were still in hospital or whether the victims would leave Hong Kong soon.
