A man luckily found a needle sticking out of a seat on bus route 68M jabbed his backpack instead of him on Wednesday afternoon in Tsuen Wan. The incident was reported to police when the bus, traveling from Yuen Long (West) to Tsuen Wan MTR Station, reached the bus terminal on Sai Lau Kok Road in Tsuen Wan. He found his backpack planted on the seat as he planned to alight and grabbed his backpack, and then spotted the needle after close examination. On May 6, a 60-year-old woman was stabbed in the back by a 5cm long needle pierced in the back of a route 81 bus seat on the lower deck. Earlier on May 2, a 40-year-old man saw a needle hidden on the seat next to him on route 73 from Tai Po.
