Hong Kong police officer killed by wolf attacker | | Opposition News in Hong Kong

Police say the man stabbed himself in the chest and later died of his injuries after a police officer was injured.

A 50-year-old man, who committed suicide after stabbing a Hong Kong police officer on Thursday, was an “lone wolf” who was a “politician” politically, the city’s security chief said Friday.

Photos of the uprising Thursday evening, posted on a local journalist’s footage, showed a man wearing a black T-shirt beating a soldier in the back at a shopping mall in Causeway Bay.

Police say the man – who has not been identified by authorities – then stabbed himself in the chest and died with his wounds later.

A 28-year-old police officer had a lung piercing and surgery all night.

“Preliminary investigations show that this is just a criminal act,” Chris Tang, a former police chief who was promoted to Secretary of Security in Hong Kong last week, told reporters outside the hospital where the officer was taken.

Tang said police later searched the fighter’s home and found weapons on his computer that showed he had been “changed”, although he did not elaborate.

“It is not only the perpetrator who is to blame for the incidents, but also the many people who traditionally promote violence, incite hatred in the country, and embellish these threats – these crimes,” Tang said.

Great division

Hong Kong has become a major city where many people are frustrated by Beijing’s oppressive regime.

Major, as well as violent, anti-democratic protests disrupted the city for months in 2019.

China has responded by defending the right to protest, establishing a comprehensive economic protection law and opposing the rights of freedom fighters.

The police led the charge.

Thursday’s attack comes at the end of a day when thousands of offices were sent across Hong Kong to protest any protests as the city commemorated its repatriation from Britain to China – and as Beijing’s leadership celebrated the centenary of China’s Communist Party.

Police cordoned off Victoria Park in the city and remained in nearby Causeway Bay, conducting several investigations after the arrest of 19 people.

Hong Kong President Carrie Lam returned from a centenary celebration in Beijing on Thursday evening and said he had “strongly opposed” the police crackdown.
