28th March 2025 – (Hong Kong) An attempted robbery occurred on 27th March 4.45pm outside 68 Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, targeting a 27-year-old Turkish man who had just arrived in Hong Kong for cryptocurrency trading. The victim was carrying a bag containing €5 million in cash when he was attacked from behind by two assailants, one of whom brandished a knife.

The victim fought back vigorously and managed to retain his belongings, while the attackers fled towards Jordan Road. Although injured and falling to the ground, the victim managed to report the incident himself. Paramedics treated his injuries, which included a 10-centimetre knife wound on his forehead, but fortunately, there was no damage to his eyes or vital organs. He remains in hospital under observation but is expected to be discharged soon.

Given the violent nature of the attack, which took place in a busy area during the afternoon, law enforcement agencies deemed the incident serious. They promptly launched an investigation, reviewing extensive CCTV footage to identify the suspects.

Subsequently, police conducted a series of operations in Jordan and Mong Kok, leading to the arrest of four South Asian men aged between 17 and 31 on suspicion of attempted robbery. Officers recovered some clothing and four mobile phones during the arrests. Among the detainees, two were in Hong Kong on recognizance papers, one claimed to be a delivery worker, while the other three were unemployed.

Initial investigations suggest that the arrested individuals included the two attackers and two accomplices who assisted in disposing of the weapon and other evidence post-incident.

Authorities are continuing their search for the discarded knife and other evidence related to the case. The four arrested individuals are currently in custody and will be charged accordingly. Police have urged the public and business owners to consider hiring reputable security firms when transporting large sums of cash and to avoid disclosing their movements to strangers to prevent becoming targets for criminals.
