The former chairman of the Democratic Party, Albert Ho, was attacked on Tuesday near Tin Hau MTR station. The incident happened at about 7 pm.

Ho said two masked men in black hit his back and arms from behind with long, hard objects. He said he had six-to-seven wounds on his back.

Ho said medics had put stitches in one arm and that he had a suspected bone fracture in the other. He said he did not know the motive of the attackers.

Ho had gone by himself to Ruttonjee Hospital to seek treatment.

In 2006, Ho was attacked in a McDonald's outlet in Central by a group of men wielding clubs.

He had just taken part in a protest march but reports at the time suggested the attack may have been linked to his work as a lawyer.
