Police said on Sunday that a man has been charged in connection with two incidents in which petrol bombs were used to target police on Friday.

They said a 24-year-old man has been charged with two counts of arson and will appear in court on Monday.

Three other men aged between 22 and 60 who were detained in connection with the attacks have been released on bail.

Police said the first device was thrown at a police vehicle near the police headquarters in Wanchai at about 3.30am on Friday.

The second device was thrown outside the Happy Valley police station at about 4pm, leaving parts of the station wall and floor blackened.

Eyewitnesses said the petrol bomb was thrown by a person in a black car without a number plate.
