Developing | Hong Kong police launch citywide search after woman abducted in Tsim Sha Tsui shopping district
A woman was bundled into a car by two men at a Hong Kong road junction in broad daylight in the bustling Tsim Sha Tsui shopping district on Monday, which triggered a citywide police search.
“The woman shouted for help alerting passers-by and other witnesses when she was forcefully pushed into a private car by two men,” a police spokesman said.
Officers raced to the scene after police received several calls from witnesses, including passers-by, a restaurant worker and a taxi driver.
The spokesman said officers found a shoe believed to have been left behind by the victim at the scene.
The incident happened at the junction of Ichang Street and Hankow Road just after midday.

The spokesman said investigations suggested the car travelled along Hankow Road and into Haiphong Road before it turned into Nathan Road and headed towards Mong Kok.
He added neither the car nor the victim had been traced by 3pm.
The spokesman said officers were treating the case as “unlawful detention”.
Detectives from the Yau Tsim district crime squad are handling the case.
