Hong Kong Police

Police are investigating the shooting of three men, aged 35 to 40, outside a Tsim Sha Tsui bar. They were ambushed while leaving the club about 5am, by two culprits at the junction of Austin Avenue and Kimberley Road, one firing a shotgun four times.

 

Two of the victims - a 35-year-old wounded in the left hand, and a 40-year-old hurt in the right leg - were sent to Queen Elizabeth Hospital and are in serious condition. The third man was sent to Kwong Wah Hospital with a face injury and is stable.

 

One of the suspects reportedly drove away in a car. He is about 1.79 meters tall, aged 20 to 25, and was wearing a black cap, dark-green t-shirt and black-framed glasses. The car suspected to have been used was found on fire on Yau Ma Hom Road in Tsuen Wan about 5.20am.

 

A personal dispute is believed to be behind the attack.
