A woman was rescued from the sea off the Kennedy Town waterfront in Sai Wan at about 11am on September 3 and taken to hospital while conscious, according to reports.
Passers-by called for help, and firefighters and marine police attended the scene. The woman was brought back to shore after a rescue operation involving the emergency services.
She was taken to hospital for treatment or examination. One report identified the hospital as Queen Mary Hospital.
Reports differed on the woman’s age. Star Headline said she was 62 and surnamed Wong, while Ming Pao described her as about 70; neither account establishes the discrepancy. Ming Pao also placed the incident outside 28 New Praya Kennedy Town, while the other report gave a broader location near the waterfront.
Star Headline reported that she had argued with family members before going to the shore and entering the water, but Ming Pao did not mention this account. The circumstances leading to the incident therefore remain unclear, and no further information on her condition after admission was provided in the supplied reports.
