Police gun down knife-wielding man in Lam Tin Hong Nga Court

Police shot dead a 21-year-old knife-wielding man this morning at Hong Nga Court, Lam Tin.

The young man was gunned down in the ground-floor lobby after he had a heated argument with his girlfriend, and physically assaulted a security guard who tried to intervene.

The security guard called police, but this infuriated the man and he tried to attack the police with a knife. He was shot three times and died at the scene, according to Sing Tao Daily.

The residential area is closed off while a police investigation is carried out.
