Narrative:

As I was reminding first officer to be diligent for laser beams intruding cockpit; he interrupted me; saying he saw a green one at that very moment behind me coming from 10 o'clock. Weird. I kept looking away from source; told tower; told ground control. Landed. First officer's eyes were uninjured; didn't look directly at it. Location details were passed to tower and ground; ground requested a phone call from first officer who witnessed it; he called them. Waiting for hotel van; a police officer drove up asking if we were the pilots who saw the laser; asked first officer more questions; and said they had been trying to pin point the bad guys for several nights and had already arrested one.
