POLICE arrested a man early yesterday after two bottles of corrosive liquid were hurled into a crowd at one of Hong Kong's famous tourist spots. At least 30 people were injured in the city's latest acid attack.
The victims, including children and tourists, were all treated at local hospitals for burns and other injuries and released. The liquid was thrown on them on Saturday night near Temple Street, a densely populated district known for its outdoor shops and restaurants in the city's Kowloon area.
Hong Kong has seen a series of similar attacks since December 2008 that have injured more than 100 people.
The suspect, described as a Chinese man in his 30s, was arrested after authorities found him on the roof a nearby building along with caps to the bottles believed to have been used in the attack, said police spokeswoman Michelle Mak.
Police investigations are continuing.
