The "Hwa Mei Wan Pao" bombing occurred at 6.30 p.m, when a male Chinese flung a "potato-masher" type hand grenade into the small office to the right of the door. Two large windows were blown out into the street, strewing the pavement with fragments of shattered glass, while office furniture inside was broken or flung around.
A watchman on duty on the ground floor was slightly injured on the inside of his right thigh, but the office itself fortunately was deserted and no one else was hurt. The Reserve Unit van was soon on the scene, fresh from the other bombing, but the terrorist had escaped.
