A Hong Kong businessman was slashed on the arm and abdomen in a knife attack outside a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui on Friday, sparking a police manhunt for two perpetrators.

The 32-year-old man was driving his Mercedes-Benz along Kimberley Road in the popular shopping and entertainment district when the attack occurred at about 12.51am.

As he reached the Kimberley Hotel, he was forced to put the car in reverse as another vehicle carrying two attackers raced directly towards him.

“The victim’s car broke down after it slammed into a parked car and a fire hydrant,” a police source said. “Two culprits then jumped out from their car and attacked the victim with knives.”
