24 people in Hong Kong were injured when someone threw acid from a building onto the crowd below - the third such attack in the Mong Kok district in the last six months. The first attack occurred in December, 2008, and injured 46. An attack in May involved two bottles of acid and injured 30.
All of the attacks involved the same modus operandi and materials. Police suspect the attacks are related. A surveillance system has been installed in the area and a 24-hour information hotline has been set-up.
