Hong Kong police’s anti-triad squad foiled a knife attack plot on Tuesday with the arrest of two men.
The force said officers from the organised crime and triad bureau, acting on intelligence, arrested two men on Chui Ling Road in Tseung Kwan O at about 7am.
“Police suspect the two men planned to harm someone,” the force said.
A video posted online showed one of the suspects pinned to the ground by plain-clothes officers and handcuffed outside a shopping centre on Chui Ling Road before being put in an unmarked police van.
The footage also showed at least 10 plain-clothes officers at the scene, with some seizing a knife.
Police said officers also impounded a car during the operation.

A source familiar with the case said one of the suspects was a 19-year-old man from the Philippines, the holder of a recognisance form – temporary immigration papers that allow people to remain in the city, but not work.
The other was an unemployed Pakistani man with a Hong Kong identity card.
The two men were in police custody for questioning on Tuesday afternoon.
Police said the investigation would continue and did not rule out more arrests.
The news came as the force stepped up patrols across the city after a string of violent attacks and knife crimes last month.
