Man slashed in Yau Ma Tei stabbing, police launch manhunt

A local man was hospitalised on Thursday morning after being stabbed in Yau Ma Tei and fleeing to a nearby MTR station for help.

Police received a report at 8.55am from the victim outside Exit A1 of Yau Ma Tei MTR Station on Pitt Street. The man reported being slashed in the leg by an attacker. Emergency responders found him conscious with a thigh wound and took him to Kwong Wah Hospital.

On-scene sources said the attack occurred inside Wah Hing Commercial Centre at 383 Shanghai Street, after which the injured man fled to the MTR station to call police.

Officers, including Counter Terrorism Response Unit personnel, cordoned off both locations. Police intercepted a man and a woman on the building's emergency staircase for questioning and sealed off an adjacent alley.

An investigation is underway as police search for the assailant.
