Riot police disturbed shoppers on public holiday, pointing pepper spray at a family with young kid
On Dragon Boat Festival today (June 25), netizens called for a “Shop with you” protest at Yoho Mall in Yuen Long. Riot police entered the mall to disperse the protesting crowd and they left the scene shortly afterwards. Plain-clothed officers, however, hung around in the mall and stood guard.
At around 3pm, while plain-clothed officer stopped and searched citizens on the scene, a team of riot police also barged into the mall to clear out citizens. One father, holding a box of toy on his hand, and accompanying his son started to argue with one officer who raised pepper spray at him and demanded them to leave. The second floor of the mall was later cordoned-off by police.
