Last Saturday night, Hong Kong police arrested a man who they believe is responsible for the acid attack that occured that night at a popular tourist location. The man reportedly threw two bottles of corrosive acid on shoppers from a top a building. Thirty people were wounded. The man, who was in his thirties, was found on the roof of a building with two bottle caps in his pocket. There have been four previous acid attacks in recent months. The police suspect that this same man may be linked to these attacks as well. In the all of the attacks, large touristy areas near busy shopping districts have been targeted. The majority of the attacks involved the same method of throwing bottles of acid off of a rooftop similar to the most recent attack.
This incident makes me wonder if this man is targeting tourists or just people in general. It seems pretty strange that a man would perform this kind of destructive act without some type of motive. An attack by acid isn't too common, at least in America, and it sounds extremely painful. It could be concluded that this man has some personal mental issues. I hope that the police can figure out the motive and direction behind these attacks so no further victims are burned by acid.
