Robbers Stab Japanese In Hold

A lone Japanese pedestrian was held up by several Chinese in Wenchow Road, near Avenue Road, about 830 pin. on Thursday, stabbed in the abdomen and robbed of $30.74. The mob confronted the Japanese and commenced to threaten him. Finally one of the men pulled out a knife and stabbed the Japanese in the abdomen, wounding him slightly. The robbers then relieved their victim of his wallet containing $20.74 and departed.

About 2.40 yesterday afternoon a Chinese woman was held up by a bandit armed with a knife in Kiaochow Road and robbed of $15 in cash.
