Police are appealing for witnesses to an attempted murder in Sham Shui Po on June 20.

Police received a report about 10.30pm that someone shouted for help inside a park between Cheung Sha Wan Path and Sham Shui Po Sports Ground. Officers found a 24-year-old Nepalese woman with head injuries and a Nepalese man was chasing her.

The 23-year-old man was arrested and the woman sent to Caritas Medical Centre.

The pair had had a dispute, and during the scuffle he allegedly tried to strangle the woman with a rope and hit her head against the ground repeatedly.

Police have charged him with wounding with intent to murder. He will appear in Kowloon City Magistracy on June 23.
