Suspect in bus chopping spree faces 8 charges
Man is being evaluated at psychiatric hospital while one victim has a finger re-attached
A man accused of attacking 11 co-workers in a chopping spree on the company bus will face eight counts of wounding in Tuen Mun Court today.
Last night, the suspect, Tsang Chiu-ho, 58, was being evaluated at Castle Peak psychiatric hospital.
Tsang, who worked at the fruit processing company Fresh-cut Produces in Tai Po, was heading for his last day of work at the factory when the attack happened on Wednesday.
He is understood to have resigned as a fruit chopper after hearing he was about to be sacked.
Tsang and 28 co-workers were on their way from Tuen Mun to the food processing plant in Tai Po at 10am.
The injured - 10 women and a man - were taken to Tuen Mun Hospital. Police seized a chopper at the scene.
Yesterday, one woman was discharged from Tuen Mun Hospital, where four women were still being treated. All four were last night believed to be in stable condition.
