Marine police stopped a sampan carrying 10 mainlanders in Deep Bay, Lau Fau Shan, at 5am yesterday. The three men and seven women could not produce identification documents upon request. They were arrested on suspicion of illegal entry and detained for questioning.
Two unrelated arrests were made at the airport yesterday. A mainland man, 62, was arrested on Cathay Pacific flight CX386 around 9am, before it left for Shanghai. He is being held on suspicion of assaulting a flight attendant. The passenger allegedly hit the chest of the attendant because he was not happy with the service. Separately, a Southeast Asian woman, 19, was arrested around 2.30pm after airport workers found a tear gas canister in her luggage in the departure hall.
