Man, 63, arrested for tainting soda with pee in supermarket

A 63-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly placing a can of soda containing his own urine on a supermarket shelf in Hong Kong. The suspect reportedly tampered with a can of Coke before returning it to the store shelf.

The case was taken over by the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit, which subsequently arrested the man on suspicion of administering poison or destructive or noxious things with intent to harm.

The police will hold a press conference at 2.30pm today to provide further details on the investigation.
