A 27-year-old woman died after being attacked by dogs in Yuen Long on Saturday night, according to police. The victim was cycling home from Yuen Long MTR station around midnight when she encountered three medium-sized dogs on Pok Wai South Road. An informant reported that three to four dogs were in the area during the incident. Upon arrival, paramedics found the woman unresponsive and without a pulse.
She had severe injuries to her head and legs and was rushed to Pok Oi Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Cheung Chun-tong, Yuen Long's acting assistant district commander for crime, stated that the woman's personal belongings were untouched, and her injuries appear to have been caused by the animals. Preliminary examination revealed various levels of lacerations on her head, face, neck, arms, and legs, with most injuries believed to be bite or claw marks.
The fatal injuries were reportedly to her head and neck, and the exact cause of death awaits further autopsy. Police have not located the dogs and have passed the case to the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department for further investigation.
