30 injured in Hong Kong acid attack
 

Hong Kong, China (CNN) -- Police in Hong Kong said they have arrested one man in connection with an acid attack that injured 30 people at a popular tourist haunt Saturday night.

Police said the attacker hurled two bottles of acid on shoppers on Temple Street, a busy outdoor market that is a favorite of tourists and locals.

The victims included children, police said.

The man who was arrested was found on a rooftop with two bottle caps. Police said the caps belonged to bottles that may have been used in the attack.

The man, who is in his 30s, was yet to be formally charged Sunday. Police could not say whether they suspect him in other attacks.

In recent months, shoppers have been victims of acid attacks in at least four occasions.

Most of them have taken place in the busy shopping district of Mong Kok, which is close to the scene of Saturday's incident.

Most attacks involved someone tossing a bottle of corrosive acid from a rooftop and targeting shoppers.

BURN HIM AT THE STAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (if found guilty)

wtf is wrong with these people....

Fixed it for you.

Try not to generalize everyone when it was only one man that has been arrested for the incident.

wtf man! that's bullshit.

so many fucked up ppl in the world! i swear they should "ship him back to china by mistake"
And shoot him dead.

this wasnt the first time it has happened..... unless it was only one person for all these incidents then yes you are right....

QFT

it would be nice if this was "THE" man behind all those acid attacks, but i highly doubt he's the one. something tells me theres more than 1 person involved in this.

anyways, lets all pour acid down his throat.

insane

Lol. Way to keep the bottle caps.

wow...this guy is seriously fucked up in the head..

More updated news.

The suspect is not related in this crime.
He panicked and hid in the building because he commited fraud in another case.

^^^^ wtf? i was hoping they finally caught the acid prick

Where was the Prince of Temple St. when you need him?!

i think the scariest part is that there's no real way of protecting yourself if something like this was to happen to you. it could happen anywhere and at anytime and it's not like you can catch yourself from getting out of there quick either.

dip the guy in his own acidic shit

something wrong with the thrower

This is the equivalent of the sniper attacks in the U.S.

Would have never seen it coming..

someone call jack bauer. he'll find and torture him.

shit. ive been in mong kok the past few days too
