An elderly man was robbed of HK$3,500 in Hung Hom after showing the money to men who teased him for not having any money to bet on their Chinese chess game.
The incident occurred when the man approached four to five men by the roadside who were gathering for a Chinese chess game.
The men tried to entice him to bet on their game, but he refused.
Enraged, the man grabbed his wallet and showed the cash to the men, who then robbed him and fled.
