Security cameras in a popular nightlife district in Hong Kong on Friday revealed striking footage of an attack launched by a group of men with machetes that resulted in three injuries, including one shot to death, according to media reports.
Hong Kong police confirmed to AFP that the incident took place in the early hours of Friday and so far three men have been hospitalized and three have been detained.
During the day, a street near the Lan Kwai Fong district was cordoned off by police, who were investigating a Lexus car in a front and side collision for evidence.
A video recorded by a camera has surfaced this Friday. AFP was unable to trace the full source of the images.
The video shows a row of cars at an intersection and the moment four men with machetes exit a vehicle that turned out to be a Lexus, which was later found.
The attackers begin to attack the neighboring vehicle, a white vehicle stopped at the traffic lights. As the robbery begins, a black pickup truck behind the white car crashes into the thieves’ vehicle, hitting at least two of them before they speed away from the crime scene.
Others with knives take action, but after a few seconds of joining the attack they turn around and flee.
One of the men attacked allegedly pulled out a pistol to shoot, a police source told the South China Morning Post.
A total of eight men with knives arrived in two vehicles, and two shots were fired during the confrontation, the newspaper cited, citing the police.
According to local network HK01, the clash began after a fight broke out between the two groups at a nearby bar. The attack took place at 2 am local time (15.00 in Brasília).
