Riot police seize civilians violently and intimidate reporters on the street
19:48 | Des Voeux Road, #Central
A large group of riot police suddenly charged towards a man in grey t-shirt while yelling at him, “are you participating in this illegal assembly?”
The officers were extremely impolite. They flashed torchlight, shouted for reporters to stay on the pedestrian road while hitting the shields.

Reporters barred from entering metro station to cover police operation
20:51 |#Central
Waving their batons and pepper guns, a team of riot police charged towards protesters walking down the metro station. While reporters wanted to follow the officers, they were barred outside the metro station, apparently deprived of their rights to report the happenings inside the station.
Editor's Note: An uncanny comparison could be drawn between today's operation and the operation on 31 August in Prince Edward Station.

Police stopped reporters from covering their operation targeting black-clad protesters
20:56 | #Central
Instead of respecting press freedom and letting reporters into the metro station to cover police operation, police officers chose to “report” the operation in their own words through microphones, repeatedly emphasizing that it is just “another routine operation”.
Peeping through officers standing at the entrance of metro station, it was seen that the stop-and-search operation was targeting young, black-clad protesters.

Police Ignores Civilians Receiving First Aid, Tells Press and Civilians to Move Back
2220 | Lee Tung Street
PPRB officers could be seen ordering press and surrounding civilians to move back from the sidewalk, ignoring civilians receiving first aid in front of them after police fired 20-30 shots of pepper balls and pepper spray at them.
When the officers heard reporters stating that first-aid is underway behind them, the officer simply said "Sure, keep saying that."
