Police Set No Way Out of PolyU
Students, β€œWe're All Gonna Make Our Way Home!”

When being asked if they wanted to get out of PolyU, people inside said they did, but there was no way out.

At around 13:30 yesterday (Nov 18), the crowd decided to fight their way out. "This is the last time! We're all gonna make our way home!" One yelled to boost the crowd's morale.

They then rushed out to Cheong Wan Road, but the riot police then shot multiple rounds of tear gas and rubber bullets, which set several places on fire. Another group of riot police rushed down from the bridge and arrested a few of them.

They were first registered by the Police before being sent to the hospital. The first-aiders who persuaded them to exit Poly U stated that both students were in poor condition, and were completely worn out. They showed symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as they were on constant alert in fear of sudden Police manoeuvres into the University. The first-aiders spent a lot of time to convince the duo to leave. The first-aider also stated that at least 20 civilians were still seeking refuge within the Poly U campus. Some of them began developing suicidal thoughts, and from his knowledge, at least 5 civilians have developed a tendency to harm themselves by cutting their hands with sharp objects. The situation of those inside PolyU campus had been alarming to many.
