STRANGE CASE ·
IN A FLAT
European Removed
To Hospital
The police are still investigating the case of a European named Krikinsky residing at No. 7 Middle Row, ground noor, Kowloon, who
was admitted to the Kowloon Hos- pital yesterday evening suffering from a damaged hand.
The man was at home at about 7 o'clock yesterday evening when some inmates saw him with a-re- volver in his hand. They man- aged to wrench the weapon from him but not before a shot was fired which at first gave rise to the theory of attempted suicide. He immediately became violent and started to smash the furniture in
the room.
When aid arrived the whole room was in a disordered condition with broken articles littering the floor. With the help of the police he was forcibly removed from the house in an ambulance to the Kowloon Hospital where it was stated that
the man is either subject to hallu- cinations or is suffering from an unstable mind.
It is understood that Krikinsky was married recently and is in the employ of the China Light and Power Co, Ltd.
