Woman, 45, arrested in Hong Kong after brandishing knife at City University

A woman has been arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon after brandishing a knife at City University of Hong Kong in Kowloon Tong.

Police said a security guard reported that the wife of a colleague was seen holding a knife on a campus bridge at around 9.53am on Tuesday.

Upon arrival at the scene, officers found the 45-year-old woman in an “emotionally agitated” state. She was later arrested for alleged possession of an offensive weapon.

A 52-year-old man who was also at the scene was injured and had “redness on his chest”, a police spokesman said. He was sent to the Caritas Medical Centre in Sham Shui Po for treatment.

An investigation into the case was under way.

Last month, police arrested a man for allegedly assaulting a taxi driver with a knife after the cabby woke him up when they arrived at his destination in Tai Kok Tsui.
