Police in Hong Kong have arrested a man suspected of carrying out an acid attack that injured 30 people.
The man was detained after being spotted on a rooftop near the scene of Saturday's attack on a night market in the Kowloon area, a spokesman said.
Nine tourists and a seven-year-old were among those treated in hospital.
More than 100 people have been injured since December 2008 in similar attacks in which bottles of acid were dropped from buildings in a pedestrian zone.
The man arrested over the latest incident was found hiding on a roof near Temple Street night market in Yau Ma Tei, with lids that fitted the bottles thrown, a police spokesman said.
Police have not said whether the man, who was described as being Chinese and in his 30s, is suspected of involvement in other attacks.
