Preliminary investigations revealed both men were neighbours residing in the same block. They had been involved in a prior dispute along the corridor.
The 44-year-old man allegedly injured the 53-year-old man with a knife following their disagreement. Police do not suspect foul play based on initial findings.
A female resident living on the fourth floor told Lianhe Zaobao she heard a loud sound on Saturday afternoon. When she looked out of her flat, she saw a man with abdominal injuries who was later sent to the hospital via ambulance.
A 28-year-old foreign domestic helper passed by the scene approximately ten minutes after the incident. She witnessed shocked residents and police officers conducting investigations.
