A four-year-old mainland Chinese girl has suffered facial injuries after being accidentally hit when about 10 attackers rushed into a Hong Kong restaurant and assaulted three other diners.
Police said the girl was eating a late-night meal with her 30-year-old mother and their family friend at the Kimberly Road restaurant in the bustling Tsim Sha Tsui shopping district when the gang attacked diners at a nearby table at around 12.10am on Wednesday.
“Some of the assailants were armed with weapons such as a retractable baton and a pair of scissors, and they attacked three male diners,” a source familiar with the case said.
“During the assault, one of the attackers accidentally injured the girl at a nearby table. She was slightly injured in the left cheek.”
The girl had only just arrived in the city from the mainland earlier on Tuesday.
