Police late on Tuesday said they arrested the suspects – eight men and a woman – in Sha Tin district on suspicion of wounding.

Ronald Wong Hong-tat, 24, who represented Hong Kong at the East Asian Muay Thai Championships last year, sustained a serious leg injury in the attack in Tsim Sha Tsui, a busy shopping district. Four men were arrested on Saturday in connection with the attack.

“The investigation is under way and I don’t rule out more arrests,” Tsang Chung-bun, assistant district commissioner (crime) of Yau Tsim District, said on Tuesday.
