Two Arrested Over Sieges Of Police HQ

Police said on Thursday that they have arrested two men in connection with separate sieges of its headquarters on June 21 and June 26.

They said an 18-year-old bartender is accused of spraying paint on the wall of the complex, and a 25-year-old construction worker is alleged to have attacked a policeman on his way to work.

Acting Superintendent Lo Ka-chun said police were not ruling out further arrests.

Hundreds if not thousands of anti-extradition bill protesters besieged the headquarters twice last month, accusing police of using excessive force.

Protesters were accused of hurling eggs and spray-painting walls and surveillance cameras outside the complex, as well as blocking the entrances to the building, and shining laser pointers into officers' eyes.
