A 30-year-old man who attacked pro-Beijing lawmaker Junius Ho with a knife on Wednesday has had his case reclassified from wounding to attempted murder.

It'll be mentioned at Fanling Magistrates’ Courts on Friday afternoon.

Pro-Beijing lawmaker Ho was stabbed while campaigning for the upcoming district council elections in Tuen Mun.

Paramedics arrived at the scene and treated Ho before taking him to Tuen Mun Hospital.
