Police on Monday said they had arrested a 43-year-old man in connection with the mob attacks in and around Yuen Long MTR Station on July 21, 2019.

A force spokesman said the man, surnamed Tang, was arrested in Tsim Sha Tsui on Sunday. He was being held on suspicion of rioting and conspiracy to wound with intent.
