Hong Kong police arrest foreign national for wrecking airport kiosks in viral video

On Monday a 35-year-old British tourist was arrested after a viral video showed him damaging roughly 10 kiosks at Hong Kong International Airport's Terminal 1 Aisle J, police said.
The man had arrived in Hong Kong in November on a six-month visa and was reportedly emotionally unstable while trying to buy a flight ticket, officials declined to disclose his identity and said his motive remains under investigation.
Video shows the man toppling around 10 self-check-in kiosks, railings and nearby counters at around 6am in Terminal 1, while airport staff and security personnel warned him and police restrained him at the bus unloading area.
Police said they found four Viagra pills and warned possession without prescription violates Hong Kong law, carrying penalties up to two years' jail and a HK$100,000 fine; police continue their investigation.
The Airport Authority dispatched staff, arranged backup smart check-in kiosks and said operations remain unaffected, while passengers described the incident as one of the most `distressing experiences`; it follows a recent Jet2 flight diversion.
