An Indonesian tourist who was sightseeing at The Peak in Hong Kong has been arrested after a tumbler fell out of his backpack and hit another visitor walking below.
Police said they received a report at 12.16pm on Wednesday that a mainland Chinese woman had been hit by an unknown object at The Peak Tower and reported injuries to her head.
“A man standing on the floor above was sightseeing. He had put his backpack on a fence, but his tumbler fell out from a side pocket, falling to the floor below and hitting the woman,” the spokesman said.
Officers arrested the man, who was a tourist from Indonesia, on suspicion of allowing an object to fall from a height.
The injured woman, a tourist in her 40s, was sent to Queen Mary Hospital in Pok Fu Lam.
The tumbler was 17cm (6.7 inches) high and 8cm wide.
