Two injured, including domestic helper and security guard, in Pok Fu Lam knife attack

A man armed with a fruit knife injured two people, including a domestic helper and a security guard, outside Baguio Villa in Pok Fu Lam on Monday morning (Aug 10).

Police received multiple reports at around 9.24am that a man in his 20s was wielding a knife and attacking people outside the estate on Victoria Road.

Officers arrived at the scene and subdued the suspect. The case was classified as wounding and police are investigating.

The domestic helper suffered a knife wound to her back, while the security guard sustained an elbow injury.

Footage circulating online showed a shirtless South Asian man with a beard chasing people with a fruit knife. The man was seen pursuing another South Asian man before turning his attention to a security guard, who fell to the ground during a struggle.

Other security staff later stepped in and helped restrain the man until police arrived.
