Man arrested for allegedly indecently assaulting nurse at Hong Kong hospital
Suspect was taken to hospital for treatment of injuries to thigh and eye sustained while drunk
Hong Kong police have arrested a 35-year-old mainland Chinese man for allegedly indecently assaulting a nurse at a hospital, where he was being treated for injuries sustained while intoxicated.
Police said they received a report at 5.57am on Monday that the man was spotted lying on the ground next to a herbal tea shop on Bute Street in Mong Kok.
The man was taken to Kwong Wah Hospital in Yau Ma Tei with suspected knife wounds on his left thigh and bleeding in his right eye.
He holds a two-way exit permit, a document issued by mainland authorities that allows residents to enter the city as visitors.
Investigators initially suspected he was attacked at a building at 732 Nathan Road but was too drunk to identify the assailant.
Police originally classified the case as wounding, with officers from the district looking into the case.
