On Sunday night, a Filipino man fell victim to a violent assault and robbery in Central, Hong Kong. The incident occurred on Chater Road near Statue Square at approximately 9 pm. The 51-year-old victim reported being attacked by three unidentified assailants who swiftly fled the scene with his jewelry, which was estimated to be worth over $47,000.

According to the victim, he lost a necklace, a bracelet, and two rings during the attack. The two rings had a combined value of $8,200, the bracelet was valued at $21,000, and the necklace was worth $18,000. The victim claimed to have no prior knowledge of the perpetrators.


The victim sustained injuries during the robbery and assault but remained conscious. He was promptly taken to Ruttonjee Hospital for medical treatment. The police initiated a search in the surrounding areas, but unfortunately, they were unable to locate the culprits.


This incident followed a similar case in Central the day before, where a foreign woman reported being robbed of $2,500 shortly after withdrawing money from an ATM near Pier 5 on Man Kwong Road. The 46-year-old victim stated that she was still holding the money when a man and a woman suddenly seized it from her hand before making their escape.



Law enforcement apprehended a 25-year-old local female in connection with the robbery shortly after the incident, but the male suspect managed to evade arrest. The female suspect was taken into police custody for questioning.


It is crucial for the authorities to investigate these incidents thoroughly and bring the perpetrators to justice. Acts of violence and robbery not only pose a threat to the safety and well-being of individuals but also undermine the trust and security of the community.



菲律賓男子在中環遭襲擊並搶劫珠寶



周日晚上,一名菲律賓男子在香港中環遭到了一起暴力襲擊和搶劫。該事件發生在 Chater Road 靠近 Statue Square 的地方,大約在晚上9點。這名51歲的受害者報稱被三名不明身份的襲擊者襲擊,並迅速逃離現場,帶走了他價值超過47000美元的珠寶。


根據受害者的說法,他在襲擊中失去了一條項鏈、一個手鐲和兩枚戒指。兩枚戒指的總價值為8200美元,手鐲價值21000美元,項鏈價值18000美元。受害者聲稱對襲擊者一無所知。


受害者在搶劫和襲擊中受到了傷害,但保持清醒。他立即被送往羅同志醫院接受治療。警方在周圍地區展開搜索,但不幸的是未能找到嫌疑人。


這起事件發生在前一天的中環發生了一起相似的案件,一名外國女子在從Man Kwong Road的Pier 5附近的ATM提款後不久被搶劫了2500美元。這名46歲的受害者表示,她在被搶劫時仍然手持著這筆錢,然後一男一女突然從她手中奪走了錢款。


执法部门随后逮捕了一名25岁的本地女性涉嫌此搶劫案,但男性嫌疑人成功逃脱逮捕。這名女嫌疑人被警方帶走進行審問。


當局有必要徹底調查這些事件並將肇事者繩之以法。暴力和搶劫行為不僅對個人的安全和福祉構成威脅,而且也破壞了社區的信任和安全感。
