A street suicide case occurred in Wan Chai.
At about 8:28 tonight (5th), a man aged between 30 and 40 was holding a knife holder to his neck near Hing Fat Street, North Point, near King's Road. The police officers arrived and searched for Gloucester, Wan Chai. The victim was found when he was driving westbound, near a bush of grass next to Marsh Road. He was brandishing a jackknife. After the police verbally warned him to no avail, he tried to subdue himself with pepper spray and a baton. The victim killed himself with a jackknife and died instantly.
At the scene, a middle-aged man wearing a red shirt, lying on the side of the road, left a large pool of blood stains.
It is reported that after the man left King's Road, he once ran into Victoria Park with a knife and was witnessed by passers-by. The police then expanded the search area and lingered in nearby Shibo before the incident.
