http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mong_Kok_acid_attacks

"A second incident, almost identical to the first, occurred on May 16, 2009 again in Sai Yeung Choi Street South. Two bottles were again thrown, this time near the Soy Street intersection. The attack occurred around 4:47 pm and resulted in injuries to 30 persons, all but one of which (a female teenager) were released from the hospital the same day. Tsang again came to visit the area and urged the district council to accelerate the process to install the cameras. On the next day, the original reward for informations was increase to 300,000 HK$. There is suspicion that both cases are the doing of the same perpetrator, although the nature of the liquid thrown in boses cases is not known as of May 17.

An unrelated incident had happened approximately one week prior to the second attack. Four persons were injured on May 4, in Tsuen Wan District when a women attempting to clear an ants nest spilt a mix of bleach, acid and insecticide to the street below. The incident, which injured a police officer and a baby girl, was initially thought to be a possible copycat of the December attack. The woman, which had just moved to the 12th-story flat on Hueng Woo Street, was arrested."

Almost as relevant to everyday life for 99% of people in Hong Kong:

Exhaustion Blamed For Hertford Fish Death

I for one will be avoiding Sai Yeung Choi Street, and will instead be gently exercising my fish.
