Two German students have been arrested in Hong Kong for "unlawful assembly" linked to ongoing unrest in the city, police said early on Saturday.

The students, aged 22 and 23, were arrested on Thursday for suspected participation in an illegal assembly, police said.

According to Germany's Bild newspaper, the two are exchange students at Lingnan University.

The German foreign ministry said it was "providing consular care ... and is in contact with a lawyer and local authorities." (AFP)
