Police said late on Wednesday that they've arrested a 31-year-old man surnamed Poon on suspicion of storming the Legislative Council on Monday night and also of taking part in a protest at the police headquarters in Wanchai nearly two weeks ago.

He was arrested by anti-triad officers in Mong Kok on Wednesday morning.

Police also arrested another 12 people in connection with clashes in Wanchai and Tamar on Monday morning - 11 men and one woman aged between 14 and 36.

The twelve are accused of possessing offensive weapons, unlawful assembly and assaulting police.
