Since noon, the crowds in Causeway Bay and Wan Chai have clamored for the destruction of social peace and even blocked roads and arson for a time, blocking traffic. The police have always adopted a rigorous and restrained attitude, repeatedly reminding the masses that the assembly has violated the "Public Security Ordinance" and the Hong Kong National Security Law, and warned the crowd to stop the assembly and leave immediately, but some people still refuse to obey. The police then took enforcement action. (Finish)
