A major police operation in Tsim Sha Tsui on Thursday evening followed a daylight attack on a Bangladeshi man in Kwun Tong, with officers intercepting the suspects' vehicle and arresting two men within half an hour.
The incident began around 5pm when a 38-year-old Bangladeshi man was attacked with a blunt object by several assailants near the junction of Wai Yip Street and Chun Yip Street in Kwun Tong. The attackers fled in a purple getaway vehicle. The victim, who suffered head injuries, was taken to United Christian Hospital conscious.
Police tracked the vehicle to a commercial building carpark on Middle Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. Two suspects, both 33-year-old South Asian men – one Bangladeshi and one Pakistani – were arrested nearby on Minden Avenue near Blenheim Avenue. Officers, including Counter-Terrorism Response Unit personnel, were seen searching the area.
The case has been handed to the Kwun Tong police district anti-triad unit for follow-up.
