A report in the South China Morning Post stated that there were a total of eight people in the two vehicles and all of them were armed. One of them, who also had a handgun, opened fire at the assailants during the attack. When police reached the spot, one of the assailants was found shot in the back and one had been hit by a car. Another person had a knife injury on his head. All three of them were immediately rushed to the nearby Queen Mary Hospital.
