Police said they received a report at 9.13am on Sunday from a passer-by about an incident involving a man in his seventies at Yuk Kwai Shan on Ap Lei Chau

An ambulance was dispatched to the scene, while a Government Flying Service helicopter took him to Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital in Chai Wan.

Yuk Kwai Shan, also known as Mount Johnston, is a scenic spot popular for its sea views but is considered a dangerous destination because of its steepness and lack of established hiking trails or shade from the sun.

Police had previously cautioned residents against hiking at the spot.
