Two people were taken to hospital on Thursday night after a blaze broke out at an under-construction skyscraper in one of Hong Kong’s major shopping districts.
Scaffolding around the building was engulfed in flames and burning embers from the building, in Middle Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, ignited objects on the ground.
The injured people, said to be motorists, were taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Yau Ma Tei for treatment.
