Hong Kong police are hunting a man after a fire extinguisher he was holding accidentally went off and shot across the street in a busy shopping district on Tuesday, hitting two parked Tesla cars.
The incident at around 2pm on Hillwood Road in Tsim Sha Tsui damaged the rear windscreen of a white Tesla, as well as the rear door and glass sunroof of a black one, according to a source familiar with the case.
No casualties were reported, according to the force.
The white Tesla was parked on the left side of the one-way street, while the black one was on the other side of the road when the extinguisher flew out of an alley.
A video posted online shows an unidentifiable object with gas streaming out of it shooting across the road and slamming into the parked black Tesla’s right rear door before flying up onto its sunroof.
At least three people were on the street when the extinguisher went rocketing past.
