Acid Throwing Suspect in Hong Kong Held

Looks like they may have finally caught the man who has been throwing acid into the streets of Mong Kok from high buildings, one of the most busiest places in Hong Kong.
I just happened to be there the day before it happened once. Hope this is the real culprit and there are no more such [...]
