At nearly 5am on Tuesday October 12, 2021 a taxi carrying a foreign passenger drove along Queen’s Road West and the 50-year-old taxi driver in the vehicle was suspected of arguing with the passenger for some reason. The foreign passenger then used a hard object to hit the neck of the driver which resulted in injuries. In order to escape, he got off the car and fled.

The passenger then got off the vehicle and continued to attack the taxi driver before he finally collapsed. When the taxi driver was about 20 meters away, the assailant also took the opportunity to escape. Afterwards, a passer-by called the police for help.

Police officers sped to the scene and found the 48-year-old man lying unconscious on the floor. Sustaining serious injury to his neck, he was rushed to Queen Mary Hospital and was certified dead at 6.17am.

The police released a recent photo of the suspect Wednesday the 13th of October. On Wednesday afternoon, our guest Tracy* ran into the suspect outside a small store on Lamma island, not having any idea who he was. She had a friendly chat and shared a beer with him. It's quite a baffling story. Strap in for this one.
