Hong Kong police have arrested five people including a 32-year-old jobless woman and a 40-year-old man over an alleged hammer attack on a man, who was found unconscious on the pavement in Yau Ma Tei and confirmed dead at hospital in the early hours of Sunday.
The force said the woman alerted police at around 6am after she found the victim, who was 33, unconscious on the ground outside a building on Pilkem Street, near Bowring Street, in Jordan.
He was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Yau Ma Tei, but confirmed dead at 8:24am.

The case was at first treated as manslaughter, but the force reclassified it as suspected murder.
A source confirmed three women and two men had been arrested.
The insider told the Post the deceased was involved in an argument with someone at the location at around 2am on Sunday.
Security footage showed the victim leaving the building with a woman and a man, who later could be seen hitting the victim on the head with what appeared to be a hammer several times.
The victim fell in the middle of the road, but the man continued to strike at his head.
The victim managed to get to his feet and walked back into the building, but two women and a man were later seen carrying an unconscious man back outside and placing him on the pavement.
Some of them carried out CPR on the unconscious figure before emergency services arrived at the scene.
Some local people told the media there were drug and gambling dens in the building. Police later retrieved some arcade machines with fishing games from the premises.
The investigation is being handled by the Yau Tsim district crime squad.
A 57-year-old woman died and her 66-year-old businessman husband was left fighting for his life last Wednesday after he allegedly set fire to their flat in the Mid-Levels over suspected marital issues in what police said was an attempted murder-suicide.
A 32-year-old woman was arrested in June after she allegedly killed her husband with a 30cm (12 inch) knife as he slept on the couch, before she tried to kill herself.
A 59-year-old man was arrested in connection with the death of his girlfriend the same month, who is alleged to have lost consciousness after she fell to the ground and suffered a head injury during a domestic dispute.
A 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder in May. He is alleged to have got into a fight with his father, 50, who later died from injuries that included an 8cm wound on the head.
