Ex-Japanese adult video actress allegedly drugged in Hong Kong nightclub; 61-year-old man arrested

A former adult video actress was admitted to intensive care after having a drink which had allegedly been tampered with by a patron at a Hong Kong nightclub.

Japanese DJ Mao Hamasaki, 33, said on social media that she was drugged during a Halloween event held at a club in Tsim Sha Tsui on Nov 1.

Mao said she had consumed an orange juice-flavored beverage which appeared murky, and experienced dry eyes about an hour later.

She drank another shot of it, before her body "stiffened up" and she blacked out.

"When I came to, I was in an ambulance. Apparently, I had a seizure," she wrote in Japanese.

The DJ said a hospital test found she had four substances in her body and recounted being anxious and in pain.

She had performed as a disc jockey at several clubs on Halloween night until the early hours of Sunday, according to her Instagram.

Hong Kong police said they arrested a 61-year-old man on Monday, reported the South China Morning Post.

She is recovering, the report said.

The man is under investigation for "administering poison with intent to injure".

Mao urged clubgoers to remain attentive and careful with their beverages, thanking netizens for their support and well wishes.
