Police have arrested one more man in connection with the attacks in Yuen Long on Sunday, bringing the total to seven.
Six men were nabbed in a series of raids on Monday. Officers say some of those arrested have triad backgrounds.
In another attempt to dismiss criticisms over the force's handling of the attacks in Yuen Long, the police said its 999 centre in New Territories North received over 24,000 calls in just three hours between 10.30pm and 1.30am – compared with an average of 2,500 a day.
Police superintendent Louis Lau said in a video message that he hopes people would understand its system was overloaded and the force would review how people can contact the police in emergencies in the future.
People have complained they were hung up or or were told to stay home if they were scared on Sunday. The police arrived at the attack scene on Sunday over an hour late and some have accused officers of even helping some of the armed men to get away.
