Injury occurred in Sham Shui Po.
At around 2 am today (28th), a 74-year-old man was resting outside the public resting space of Pei Ho Street in Sham Shui Po when he encountered a strange man who came forward to ask for cigarettes.
After the old man refused the request, the man suddenly took out the fruit knife, inserted it into the old man's abdomen, and then fled.
The old man was injured and walked about 100 meters to the junction of Nanchang Street and Haitan Street. Someone found a knife in the abdomen of the old man, so he assisted the police.
Police later arrested a 45-year-old man surnamed Zhang on suspicion of wounding in the district. The motive for the killing is still under investigation.
According to sources, the man involved in the wounding turned himself in to the police station.
