Hong Kong man in critical condition after being run off the road and stabbed by masked attackers
- About 15 minutes after vicious assault, a seven-seater car burst into flames outside a factory building in Kowloon Bay – which police think might be linked to attack
Police were scouring the city for four masked attackers on Tuesday after a man was chased from a car, intercepted and stabbed on Hong Kong Island overnight.
The man, a passenger in a silver Audi TT coupe was travelling along Yiu Hing Road in Shau Kei Wan at about 12.15am, when it was rammed by two other vehicles and crashed outside Yiu Fu House at Yiu Tung Estate, a police spokesman said.
“Four masked men jumped from the two vehicles and attacked the victim with knives before they fled in their own cars,” the spokesman said.
The 22-year-old male victim suffered multiple knife wounds to his body and was rushed to Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital in Chai Wan where he remained in a critical condition on Tuesday.
The driver of the Audi escaped unscathed and was not at the scene when officers arrived, according to police.
