Police arrested 2 people for unlawful assembly between themselves
After raiding Tsim Sha Tsui at around 21:03, police set cordon at the intersection of Nathan Road and Austin Road. Many tourists wish to leave, but the police berate and demand them to find another way.
All of a sudden, around 20 police dash towards Jordan along Nathan Road and arrest 1 man and 1 woman, accusing them of unlawful assembly. Passersby ask angrily "there are not even 3 people, how can that be called unlawful assembly?", "are you [the police] interpreting the law yourselves?" The two arrestees are taken away and no one knows what happens next.
Although the press are filming at least 5 meters away from the riot police, police still push them away with shields and flash torchlight directly at their eyes within half a meter. Police shout "I will shoot you to death if you come closer!" and accuse onlookers for provoking the police. The police threaten to "treat" the journalists and civilians with pepper spray.

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.
