HONG KONG: A 57-year-old man attacked passengers on a moving bus in Hong Kong with a meat cleaver yesterday, injuring eleven, before he was finally brought down by his victims, police said.
The rare and bloody assault, in a city which is usually considered one of the safest in the world, resulted in 11 people being hospitalised with one victim losing her little finger.
The attack occurred at around 7.30am local time on a highway in the rural Tuen Mun district of the city, on board a coach hired by a local fruit company to ferry employees to work.
“The man suddenly attacked a few of the female colleagues and a male colleague who were sitting on the back rows of the bus a few minutes after it set off,” police inspector Kelvin Ip told reporters.
