Knife attack: three masked assailants slash man in Hong Kong McDonald’s

A man was left fighting for his life after a knife attack at a Hong Kong McDonald’s on Thursday morning.

The 26-year-old was in the 24-hour outlet on the junction of Hing Wah Street and Un Chau Street in Cheung Sha Wan when the predawn attack took place at about 3am.

“The victim was slashed in the arms and legs,” a police spokesman said.

After the attack, three assailants wearing face masks ran from the restaurant and fled in a getaway car.

The victim was taken to Princess Margaret Hospital in Lai Chi Kok and was in critical condition. His condition later improved to serious.

Soon after 6am, a car believed to have been used by the attackers was found abandoned and on fire on Kwai Yue Street, Kwai Chung, 6km away from the crime scene.
