Another incident of someone throwing a plastic bottle of corrosive fluid into a crowd took place again in Causeway Bay on Saturday. At least six people were injured. Police say they are still investigating the case and the government has responded by saying it will set up camera surveillance to prevent such incidents happening again.
I can only describe this action as evil. I cannot unerstand why someone would do such a thing. Maybe they hate people on the streets or they hate the streets. Maybe they are trying to release negativity inside them. I simply canot imagine someone so cruel.
The incident and other similar ones are a complete mystery. I hope police can get to the bottom of it soon and make the streets of Hong Kong safe again for pedestrians.

Thank you for your letter, Chan. Despite the acid attacks, Hong Kong remains one of the safest cities in the world. The very troubling thing about attacks like these is that they can progress to something worse.
