Thirty people sustained burns after two bottles of acid have been thrown into the crowd in the busy Mong Kok shopping district of Hong Kong on Saturday. A similar attack took place in December of last year when 46 people suffered injuries in a similar acid-throwing incident. No one was charged in December’s incident. Police is looking for the perpetrators.
Two bottles of acid were thrown into a crowd in a popular shopping district in downtown Hong Kong on Saturday, injuring 30 people, police and news reports said.
It was the second such attack in five months in the neighborhood.
30 people suffered burns but none was seriously injured. Police earlier said an infant was among the injured.
On the same street in December, 46 people suffered burns when two plastic bottles filled with acid were thrown at pedestrians. No one has been detained, despite a police reward of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars ($12,900) for information leading to an arrest.
