A 54-year-old man in Sunny Bay died after attempting to pull a 42-year-old woman playing in the surf back to shore but failed, with both washed away by the tide. The incident involving the duo falling into the sea and going missing was reported to police at about 1am on Thursday. Yet, Mak soon called for help from the man surnamed Ho and told him to pull her to shore after taking a few more steps further away. The two were then washed away by a strong current in the rain, and both were crying for help before the water covered them. Cheung recalled that the incident from Mak playing by the beach to both being washed away took only a few minutes.
