An 81-year-old woman has been found three days after going missing while hiking in a Hong Kong country park.

At about 9.30am on Wednesday, Ng Moo-ching was spotted by officers from the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department, sitting by a stream in Shing Mun Country Park in Tsuen Wan.

“She suffered abrasions to her legs and back,” a police spokesman said. Authorities earlier launched an air and land search to track her down.

The spokesman said Ng was not in a state to tell officers details of how she had spent the past three days. She also could not say if she had found any food or water.

On Wednesday the elderly woman was seen on a stretcher and wearing an oxygen mask while being carried into an ambulance.
