Police have classified the case as wounding, and detectives from the Tuen Mun police district’s anti-triad action group are handling the investigation. No arrests have been made yet.
A police spokesman said the incident started as an argument involving two groups of diners before someone summoned several people to join the fight, which then escalated into a brawl.
