Yeung, 60, sustained head injuries when the two men struck him with glasses and their bare hands in the lobby of the Park Lane hotel on Gloucester Road in Causeway Bay at about 6pm on Tuesday, a police source said. The pair fled the scene after the assault.

Hotel staff called an ambulance, which took Yeung to Ruttonjee Hospital.

The source said the hairdresser-turned-businessman had refused to give any statement, or provide details of the suspects.

Investigators are looking for two men in their 50s who were wearing khaki and black tops, respectively.
