Police on Wednesday said they arrested a man for attempted snatching, after the 39-year-old allegedly tried to take a police officer’s gun at the Tsim Sha Tsui police station.

A statement said officers subdued the man, who was held at the station for an investigation in another case.

The force said the arrested person is an off-duty officer who had earlier been arrested on suspicion of voyeurism.

The man, along with two officers who subdued him, sustained injuries and was taken to hospital.
