With thick red wounds criss-crossing his back and arms, a Hong Kong man recounted to AFP Wednesday his terror as suspected triad members attacked him in the mistaken belief he was a pro-democracy protester.
Calvin So, 23, said he had just finished work at a restaurant and was heading home when the gangsters attacked him as they hunted down
protesters at a train station in the town of Yuen Long in northwest Hong Kong.
The savage attacks late on Sunday night, which left dozens injured, have deepened fears of an increasingly violent crackdown against nearly two months of pro-democracy rallies in the semi-autonomous Chinese city.
