Hong Kong Acid Attack

46 people have been injured in a busy Hong Kong shopping district when two bottles of corrosive acid were dropped from above onto the bustling street.

Two 750 ml bottles of a yet undetermined corrosive liquid exploded on the street in the Mong Kok area of Hong Kong.Witnesses at the scene say people cried out with pain as the liquid burnt through their clothing and damaged their skin and eyes.

“It looked like an ordinary bottle of water, and the crowd began to disperse. Then I saw people with red faces and eyes in pain,” one witness recalled.

Police suspect that the bottles were dropped intentionally from a high-rise building, but their search of the area has so far led to no arrests.
