According to a police spokesman, the two victims were sent to Ruttonjee Hospital. The building’s security guard, named Kam Fai, 73, sustained hand and leg injuries and the police officer, whose name was not disclosed, sustained a leg injury.

 
At the end of Saturday both the security guard and the police officer had been treated and discharged from hospital.
