Three young demonstrators in Hong Kong were seriously injured after being stabbed by a man with a Chinese mainland accent near a “Lennon Wall” on Aug. 20 around 1 a.m. local time.

Several witnesses said the man, with a knife in his hand, suddenly attacked a group of youth who gathered at a “Lennon Wall”—a street installation where people leave post-it messages in support of the ongoing Hong Kong protests—located in a pedestrian tunnel near Tseung Kwan O, also known as Junk Bay.
