Hong Kong police arrest 35-year-old man suspected of raping woman, 19, at Causeway Bay hotel

Two suspected marijuana cigarettes were also discovered in his possession, the force said.

The man and woman had become friends during a social gathering earlier this month, according to a police source.

On Tuesday, the woman had agreed to meet the suspect at the hotel.

The pair were chatting at the location before the alleged rape occurred at about 10.40pm.

The woman’s friend later alerted police.

Officers from the Wan Chai district crime squad are investigating the case.
