About 170 people were evacuated from a Hong Kong shopping area after a fire broke out in a skyscraper late on Thursday night, the government said.

Two people were injured and are receiving treatment in hospital.

Firefighters battled the blaze at a redevelopment project in the Tsim Sha Tsui district throughout the early hours of Friday, the flames visible from the other side of Victoria Harbor.

Some 250 firefighters and rescue workers battled the blaze for nine hours before it was extinguished.

The building is a 42-storey project by the Empire Group to house the city's Mariners Club and a hotel, according to the company’s website. The Mariners Club opened in 1967 to provide affordable accommodation to seafarers, and was popular among maritime workers passing through Hong Kong.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
