A local politician and three other people were injured during a knife attack outside a Hong Kong mall where pro-democracy protests had happened earlier in the day. The politician's ear was reported to have been partially bitten off.
The attack happened outside the Cityplaza mall in Tai Koo, where pro-democracy protests took place earlier in the day.Four men, including the alleged attacker, and one woman are now being treated at the city's Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital, a police source told CNN. Two of these are in a critical condition.Among the injured was a pro-democracy politician whose ear was partially bitten off by the unidentified attacker, according to public broadcaster RTHK and the AFP news agency.
The most notable case is that of Jimmy Sham, the Civil Human Rights Front convenor who helped organize large marches in early June. Sham was attacked by a group of masked men carrying baseball bats and knives in August. In October he suffered head injuries in a second attack by another group of masked men armed with knives and hammers.
