Hong Kong CNN —Two women have been stabbed to death in a Hong Kong mall in a frenzied – and apparently random – attack that has shocked a city where violent crime is rare.
Graphic video clips circulating on social media appear to show the attacker pinning one of the women to the floor and repeatedly stabbing her.
“We found multiple knife wounds on (the two women) and they were bleeding profusely,” she said.
The attack has shocked a city where violent crime of any sort is relatively rare, particularly so because of the apparently random nature of the incident.
The city sees only a few dozen homicides each year, compared to several hundred in New York.
