One of the students is in critical condition while the other is seriously hurt.  In a statement, the Hong Kong Immigration Department said it immediately reached out to the foreign ministry office here and the Chinese embassy in the UK for help.  It said it’s offered emergency assistance to the family and will continue to follow up on the case.
