Suspect held after allegedly launching a brutal and seemingly random attack on two victims in a park in To Kwa Wan
Hong Kong police have arrested a man a day after he allegedly attacked two park-goers in To Kwa Wan, leaving both critically injured.
Superintendent Gar Kam-lam of the Kowloon West regional crime headquarters said on Sunday that the suspect was believed not to know the two victims – aged 24 and 37 – and there was no indication of any conflict between them before the attack.
According to police, the victims arrived at a pavilion in Hoi Sham Park on Yuk Yat Street around noon on Saturday, while the suspect, a 31-year-old homeless man known to frequent the park, had been sitting nearby.
Also present was a man in his seventies.
