Hong Kong police stop and search several people near scene of 2021 knife attack on officer

Dentist Lee Ying-chi appeared outside the Sogo department store in Causeway Bay with three friends, some of whom were dressed in black, at around 10pm on Monday, the 27th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to Chinese rule.
