EUROPEAN ATTACKED BY INTRUDERS
STABBED IN THE THROAT
A Briton's desperate struggle in pitch darkness with unknown armed intruders, who did not besitate to use their weapons, occurred in the small hours of this morning in a European flat.
The European, Mr. William Beatty, Was rather seriously stabbed, and another occupant of the flat, a Chinese woman named Mas Lucy Loo, was similarly injured when she rushed to his assistance.
The sensational affair occurred on the ground floor of No. 370, Temple Street, Yaumafl, where Mr. Beatty lives. Shortly before 3.30 a.m. Mr. Bentty was aroused by a noise, and in the darkness saw the dim outline of a man standing over the bed.
