HONG KONG --A Hong Kong man was arrested for throwing parts of his bed out of the window of his 15th floor apartment, police and local media said Friday.

No one was injured by the falling planks of wood that the 42-year-old man lobbed out of his window Thursday morning, said a police spokeswoman who declined to be named.

Police had to break into the man's apartment because he was emotional at the time of the arrest, she said, adding that he was admitted to a hospital for medical tests.

A neighbor said the man had recently moved furniture and electrical appliances from his flat to the garbage collection area in the housing estate, the South China Morning Post reported.

Public housing tenants receive demerit points for littering and throwing objects from high floor windows. Repeat offenders face eviction from their apartments.
