Knifeman at large after slashing a woman in Ngau Chi Wan

A woman was sent to the hospital after she was slashed by a middle-aged man in a pedestrian tunnel in Ngau Chi Wan on Thursday night. Police investigation is ongoing and officers carrying shields are now searching for the suspect. 

The incident occurred around 7 pm today when the woman was walking in the pedestrian tunnel that connects Ngau Chi Wan Market and Choi Hung Estate. 

The man in his 40s suddenly slashed the woman with a cleaver knife and fled towards the direction of Ngau Chi Wan Market. 

The woman failed to dodge the attack in time and sustained injuries to her limbs. She was later treated by paramedics and sent to United Christian Hospital in a conscious state. 

Police also arrived and cordoned off the area to investigate. 

There were bloodstains on the wall and officers found another cleaver knife still in its package, suspecting that the attacker had two knives at the time. 

Officers carrying shields are still searching for the suspect in the area.
