On Hong Kong Island bombs and false bombs were planted in North Point to Shau Kei Wan area. A number of bombs were also planted in Western District and in Wanchai, bombs were reported to have been placed at both ends of Johnston Road.

An object was hurled over a fence around Waterfront Police Station but this exploded on impact without doing any damage or harm.

In Desvoeux Road West an Army ammunition expert who was dealing with suspected bombs on the road fired one shot at some people who threw objects from an upper floor. No one was hurt.

Just before 10 p.m. police arrested a man after he had placed some objects suspected of being bombs at junction of Chai Wan Road and Tytam Road. Another man helping him got away but he was arrested one hour later.
