Hong Kong police shot and injured a man after he brandished a meat cleaver in Tuen Mun neighbourhood.
The incident occurred at around 7pm along Tuen Hi Road near Tuen Mun Town Hall, where the man was seen carrying the knife.
An officer responding to the scene opened fire, with two shots believed to have been fired near a convenience store at Tuen Mun Town Plaza, according to a source.
A police spokesman said the man was unconscious when he was taken to Tuen Mun Hospital.
A video circulating online, apparently taken by a passer-by, showed three officers, one wearing a helmet, attending to an unresponsive person on the ground.
In the footage, another officer can be heard asking who fired the shots, as the helmeted officer raises his hand.
