Man, 61, arrested after former Japanese adult film star DJ Mao allegedly drugged at Hong Kong nightclub

HONG KONG, Nov 3 — A 61-year-old man has been arrested over the suspected drugging of former Japanese adult film star-turned-DJ Mao Hamasaki at a Hong Kong nightclub, where she reportedly suffered paralysis and convulsions before being rushed to intensive care.

Hamasaki, 33, who performs as DJ Mao, fell seriously ill after consuming a drink during a private Halloween event in Tsim Sha Tsui early Sunday.

According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP) and The Standard , police arrested the man in Central yesterday following an investigation into the incident at PP Club on Mody Road.

He remains in custody on suspicion of administering poison with intent to injure.

Hamasaki, discharged from Queen Elizabeth Hospital yesterday afternoon, has since described noticing cloudy sediment in her drinks but dismissing it as fruit pulp.

In a Japanese-language post on X, she recalled drinking two small orange-flavoured cocktails before taking to the DJ booth.

About 40 minutes to an hour later, her memories became hazy and her eyes felt unusually dry.

After raising another glass with a customer during her set, her body suddenly stiffened, leaving her unable to move her arms or legs before she lost consciousness.

Her next clear memory was waking up in an ambulance. She later learnt she had suffered convulsions.

According to The Standard , Hamasaki had earlier performed in Wan Chai before heading to the Tsim Sha Tsui venue with her 44-year-old manager, surnamed Mak.

The newspaper reported that a stranger approached her around 3.30am and offered her orange juice.

Her manager subsequently noticed white powdery residue at the bottom of a glass and sought help when she became seriously unwell.

Police received a report at around 4.57am that a female DJ had fallen ill after consuming a drink at the venue.

Hamasaki was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital and admitted to intensive care.

Her manager told Hong Kong media that urine tests had returned positive results for four drugs, a finding Hamasaki also mentioned in her account.

However, no independently verified toxicology report has been made public.

Reflecting on the ordeal, Hamasaki said she had experienced the “terror and harm” of drugs first-hand, according to an English translation of her Japanese statement reported by SCMP.

She also said doctors had warned that her condition was dangerous.

“My consciousness is completely clear, and I am steadily recovering,” she wrote on X yesterday, according to SCMP.

Hong Kong news outlet HK01 reported that Hamasaki left hospital with her manager yesterday afternoon. Asked about her condition, she replied “OK”, thanked reporters and made an OK hand gesture.

Her manager later said they had visited a police station to assist investigators.

Hamasaki has since urged nightclub-goers to watch their drinks and replace beverages left unattended. She said she would refrain from further public comments while cooperating with police.

Police have yet to establish publicly how the suspected substances entered her drink.

Hamasaki retired from the Japanese adult film industry in 2024 and has since pursued a DJ career in Hong Kong, where she has also appeared in a television drama.

香港，11月3日讯——一名61岁男子因涉嫌在香港一家夜总会给日本前成人电影明星、现任DJ滨崎真央下药而被捕。据报道，滨崎真央在被紧急送往重症监护室之前，曾出现瘫痪和抽搐症状。

33岁的滨崎真一（艺名DJ Mao）周日凌晨在尖沙咀参加一场私人万圣节活动时饮酒后突发重病。

据《南华早报》和《英文虎报》报道，警方昨日在中环逮捕了这名男子，此前警方对么地道PP俱乐部发生的事件展开了调查。

他因涉嫌投毒伤人而被拘留。

昨天下午从伊丽莎白女王医院出院的滨崎，此后曾表示注意到饮料中有浑浊沉淀物，但她认为那是果肉。

她在 X 上用日语发帖回忆说，在登上 DJ 台之前，她喝了两小杯橙味鸡尾酒。

大约40分钟到1小时后，她的记忆开始变得模糊，眼睛也异常干涩。

在演出过程中，她与一位顾客举杯庆祝时，身体突然僵硬，四肢无法动弹，随后便失去了意识。

她接下来的清晰记忆是醒来时发现自己在救护车里。后来她才知道，自己曾出现过抽搐。

据《英文虎报》报道，滨崎步此前曾在湾仔演出，之后与她44岁的经纪人麦姓先生一同前往尖沙咀演出场地。

据报纸报道，凌晨 3 点 30 分左右，一名陌生人走近她，并给她提供了橙汁。

随后，她的经理注意到杯子底部有白色粉末状残留物，并在她身体严重不适时寻求帮助。

警方于凌晨 4 点 57 分左右接到报案，称一名女 DJ 在酒吧饮酒后感到身体不适。

滨崎被送往伊丽莎白女王医院，并被送入重症监护室。

她的经纪人告诉香港媒体，尿检结果显示她对四种毒品呈阳性反应，滨崎在她的叙述中也提到了这一发现。

然而，目前尚未有经独立核实的毒理学报告公开发布。

据《南华早报》报道，滨崎在回顾这段磨难时表示，她亲身经历了毒品的“恐怖和危害”。该报道援引了滨崎的日语声明的英文翻译。

她还说，医生曾警告她，她的病情很危险。

据《南华早报》报道，她昨天在X上写道：“我的意识完全清醒，正在稳步恢复。”

香港新闻媒体HK01报道称，滨崎步昨天下午在经纪人的陪同下出院。当被问及身体状况时，她回答“还好”，并向记者致谢，还做了个“OK”的手势。

她的经纪人后来表示，他们曾到警察局协助调查人员。

滨崎随后呼吁夜店顾客看管好自己的饮料，并及时更换无人看管的饮品。她表示，在配合警方调查期间，她将不再发表公开评论。

警方尚未公开查明疑似物质是如何进入她饮料中的。

滨崎于 2024 年从日本成人电影行业退休，此后在香港从事 DJ 工作，并出演了一部电视剧。
