I don't think the story is that simple. If one is so badly injured, why would he still cross the border? And nobody noticed?
I walked across that bridge a few times at night and nothing happened,  ...

Brother, I agree with your view.  We are not detective but there are always a lot of questions to be raised based on the information provided.
1. If he was so seriously injured, how could he walked for 500M+ back to HuangGang border and then went back to HK?  Did he take a bus?
2. If he was injured, he should naturally be handled by police and medical care at HuangGang, not HK.  Assuming he felt uncomfortable regarding medical care in Shenzhen, he should have reported the crime in SZ instead of HK. How come HK officer reported the incident for him?
There are more questions to be raised but that should not be our problem.  I am echoing your view that when we read a piece of news, we need to take it with a grain of salt, not to believe it 100% and then spread it around.

The customs people will stop you when you look strange, not to say injured or bleeding.

To summarize our discussion, view it from a totally differently angle :
1. The guy was not seriously injured.
2. He could go back to HK side without getting the attention of SZ customs and police.
3. He felt bad and reported to HK customs/police.
4. HK customs/police filed an official notice to SZ police.
5. This event was noted by some HK media.
6. One or more medium noted the value of the event and created a different version of the story.

My observation  : 　This seems to be the start of an urban legend.  Remember the stories spread on the internet regarding HK visitors being killed and kidneys taken? And about the Women WC in LuoWu Shopping Center where a lot of HK women were being robbed?
