Hong Kong teenager left in a coma after assault at UK boarding school

A Hong Kong teenager was said to be left in a coma after he was among two students and a staff member allegedly bludgeoned by a 16-year-old boy in a dormitory at an upscale English boarding school.

The two male pupils sustained serious injuries in the attack at Blundell’s School in Tiverton, Devon on Friday, the BBC reported, adding that one of the boys remains in critical condition.

A third victim, an adult male staff member, was reportedly discharged from the hospital after also receiving serious wounds.

The alleged attacker, a 16-year-old local boy, was arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm and remains in police custody, according to the Guardian.

It is understood that the father of the Hong Kong teenager wrote on Facebook saying his son had undergone surgery operated on by a top neurosurgeon, but is still unconscious following the surgery.

He also criticized the UK school for trying to play down the incident.
