Hong Kong
police arrested an 18-year-old man after he fired a single shot with a pistol at officers late on Friday evening, in an incident police said they suspected was linked to anti-government
protests that have convulsed the city.
Steve Li, a Senior Superintendent of the Police Organised Crime and Triad Bureau said early on Saturday that the man had been subdued by police after he'd fired a shot in the northern Tai Po district.
Li added that there were signs this case was linked to other recent seizures of firearms and explosive devices including on Hong Kong island.
