At least 13 people were injured Friday evening in a fire on a metro train in Hong Kong, police said.
Seven people have been transferred to local hospitals, although their conditions are not known, Hong Kong officials said.
A 60-year-old man has been arrested and accused of arson, Hong Kong police said at press conference Friday.
The man, whose last name is Cheung, was critically injured and told police he set the fire, authorities said.
Police said they believe the fire was an isolated incident carried out for personal reasons. There is currently no evidence it was terror-related, they said.
The fire happened at the Tsim Sha Tsui station on the Tsuen Wan Line. The station, one of the busiest on Hong Kong’s Mass Transit Railway, has been closed for the time being.
