A Hong Kong man was injured after he was attacked by two people wielding 12-inch knives on Sunday night after his truck was followed by two people in a car.

Police said the man remained conscious after the attack and was able to contact them to report the incident.

He was taken to the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sha Tin for treatment.

The man was attacked after he spotted his truck was being tailed by a car as he drove to a bicycle storehouse.

He pulled over and got out to check the vehicle behind him when two people jumped out and attacked him before they fled the scene in the car.

The gender of the attackers is unknown.

The incident happened at about 7pm in Hung Lung Hang in the New Territories.

Police said the incident had been classed as a wounding and the investigation continued.

The attack was the latest in a series over the last week.

A 67-year-old man was arrested on Saturday after it was alleged he attacked his wife with a hammer in a stairwell at a residential estate in Quarry Bay.

Another man, 39, was wounded on Wednesday at Tin Ching Estate in Tin Shui Wai, New Territories, just before he was scheduled to attend a court hearing for an assault case.
