As this was happening, detectives arrested a boy who was placing a bomb at a pedestrian crossing in Lai Chi Kok Road at its junction with Pei Ho Street. The area was immediately cordoned off. Not long afterwards, a bomb was thrown at a group of onlookers about one hundred yards away from where the bomb was planted. The bomb exploded injuring three policemen and eight civilians. A search was then conducted in the area. One of the premises searched was that of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Printers Union where police seized a quantity of inflammatory posters. A man was arrested on the staircase of the searched building.

At about the same time, a small boy sustained minor injuries when a bomb was thrown at a police party in Reclamation Street. No policemen were injured in the incident.
