The attack happened at about 10 pm on Wednesday when a 42-year-old man named Wong was driving along Shing Sai Road.

Upon realizing he was being followed, he sped up and tried to escape. Still, after about 300 meters, the attackers rammed his car with theirs, forcing it to mount the curb. Afterward, they clambered out of their vehicle and proceeded to attack Wong, slashing at him with a knife. The victim was able to retreat, bleeding profusely, into a Belcher Bay park, and the attackers then fled the scene.

Wong was later discovered by officers patrolling nearby, who found the abandoned car and followed the blood stains on the road. Wong sustained injuries to his arms and legs and was rushed to Queen Mary Hospital in a conscious state.

Police then cordoned off the area for investigation and found a license plate that belonged to the attackers. Officers believed it fell off the vehicle during the collision.

It was understood that monetary disputes between two triad societies were involved.

All arrestees are now remanded in custody, and the case, listed as an assault, is being handled by the Hong Kong Island regional anti-triad unit.
