The incident occurred around midnight as the victim was returning home on her bicycle from the Yuen Long MTR station. According to police, she was chased by three medium-sized dogs on Pok Wai South Road. An informant reported that three to four dogs were in the vicinity at the time of the incident.\n\nUpon the arrival of paramedics, the woman was found not breathing and without a pulse. She was severely injured, with blood covering her body and significant damage to her head and legs. She was immediately transported to Pok Oi Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. Cheung Chun-tong, acting assistant district commander for crime in Yuen Long, stated that the injuries were likely caused by the animals. Initial examination revealed various levels of lacerations on her head, face, neck, arms, and legs, with most injuries appearing to be bite or claw marks.\n\nFurther forensic examination confirmed the majority of the injuries were caused by animal bites. Police have not found the dogs involved in the attack, and the case has been forwarded to the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department for additional investigation.",
