A man was seriously injured in a knife attack in Hong Kong’s Kwun Tong district early on Friday morning. The victim was taken to hospital after suffering a bleeding injury to his left forearm, while the suspected attacker remained at large as police continued their investigation.
Police received a report at approximately 1:17 a.m. about a stabbing near the junction of Fu Yan Street and Tung Yan Street. Officers who arrived at the scene found the victim with a serious wound. He reportedly lost consciousness before being taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for emergency treatment. He later regained consciousness following surgery.
Investigators began searching the surrounding area after receiving the report. According to sources cited by local media, the person who made the initial call was confused and claimed to have been attacked and robbed. Police then examined nearby streets and buildings in an effort to establish what had happened.
Officers discovered suspicious bloodstains on a staircase outside a building at 8 Fu Yan Street. Investigators also found a bloodstained jacket and a large amount of blood near an alley leading towards Yee Mei Road. A trail of blood was reportedly found near the entrance to Fook Yan Street.
A passer-by also told police about seeing a person with a serious hand injury being taken to hospital. Investigators are examining whether that person may be connected to the incident.
Police are reviewing CCTV recordings from the area to identify the suspect and trace the movements of those involved. The attacker had not been arrested at the time of the report, and authorities had not confirmed a motive for the stabbing.
The incident has prompted a police investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack, including the initial report of a possible robbery and the evidence found at nearby locations. Officers are continuing to seek information that could help identify the person responsible.
