Hong Kong police have arrested two tourists after an alleged violent fight in a serviced apartment that left both with facial injuries.

A source said on Tuesday that the force was alerted to the incident at K11 Artus at 11.47pm the previous day, after an argument over “trivial matters” between a Malaysian man and a mainland Chinese woman spiralled into a physical brawl.

The pair were visiting Hong Kong for sightseeing and met while shopping at K11 Musea early on Monday, according to the source.

The 30-year-old man then invited the 35-year-old woman to the serviced apartment later that evening for hotpot and drinks.

“A dispute eventually broke out over trivial matters. Under the influence of alcohol, the man became agitated and attacked the woman with his bare hands,” the insider said.
