Explosion at Hong Kong police station blows through walls, shatters glass

An explosion went off at a Hong Kong police station on Friday night, spraying shattered glass from the building and into the street below.

Sources said the blast at Hung Hom Police Station was strong, sending a ventilation fan and debris across Princess Margaret Road, a dual carriageway.

It seemed no one had been injured.

Police sources said the explosion happened inside a washroom with bathing facilities on the building’s 11th floor.

Just after midnight, firefighters were conducting checks at the scene.
