Hong Kong pro-Beijing legislator Junius Ho Kwan-yiu was stabbed while campaigning on the streets on Nov. 6. Videos of the attack, as well as of Ho in the hospital, were soon released by pro-Beijing media. 
A Facebook post about the attack by pro-Beijing newspaper Ta Kung Pao was time-stamped hours before the attack happened, leading many netizens to speculate that the incident was staged.
