Police search for suspects in daylight robbery attempt in Tsim Sha Tsui

The police are actively searching for two men involved in an attempted robbery that targeted a non-Chinese man in Tsim Sha Tsui on Thursday afternoon.

The incident occurred around 4pm today near the pedestrian path by Golden Crown Court. The victim, a non-Chinese man, was walking with a suitcase when he was suddenly assaulted by two men trying to steal his luggage.

Despite being struck on the forehead, the victim managed to fend off the attackers, preventing them from taking his suitcase. Witnesses at the scene promptly called the police for help.

After the attack, the Turkish man, who was bleeding from his forehead, sought first aid at a nearby bank. He was later transported to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for further medical treatment.

Following the incident, police cordoned off the area and began examining security camera footage to identify and locate the assailants.

It is understood that the attacked man is a Turkish businessman who was planning to buy bitcoin in Hong Kong and was holding a suitcase with a large amount of euros for that purpose.
