Police Brutality on Civilians: Assaulting and Pepper-spraying Passersby for No Reason

A man in white and a woman in blue are walking out of the Causeway Bay MTR statio. There is no clash and they have no interaction with the police at all; however, the police suddenly grab the man's backpack, drag him over and pepper-spray the two and other citizens at close distance.

The man is subdued on the ground. Police pepper-spray his eyes directly and kick him. The woman gets pepper-sprayed for a couple of times when she is simply crying for help. She screams "it hurts" and asks for water.

Heavy presence of police force is sighted around the city to stamp out any possible pro-democracy activities on the National Day.

At Cross-Harbor Tunnel, one of the busiest route connecting Kowloon peninsula and Hong Kong island, police set up interception point to stop and search cars coming from the Kowloon side. It was reportedly a tactic police force used to discourage citizens from heeding netizens call to attend a rally on the island-side.

The force had earlier rejected an application by the Civil Human Rights Front to hold a rally on Hong Kong Island, citing health and security concerns, along with the ban on public gatherings of more than four people.
