Police have arrested an 18-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy in connection with Sunday's disruption on the MTR's East Rail Line. It was caused after a 17-metre-long metal railing was thrown onto power lines, apparently from a footbridge.

The incident happened near Tai Wo Station in Tai Po.

Early morning train services on the line were disrupted for about an hour.

Police classified the case as criminal damage.
