Hong Kong’s leader, Carrie Lam, denounced the stabbing of a policeman in a bustling shopping street, in an incident that shows how tensions still simmer in the Asian financial center despite bans on major protests.
The Hong Kong chief executive told reporters early Friday that she condemned the knife attack the previous night on a uniformed police officer in the Causeway Bay neighborhood. The attacker was caught on a local website’s video feed walking up behind the officer around 10 p.m. and striking him from behind.
