Protesters are reportedly setting up barricades on Harcourt Road, after
@hkpoliceforce
fired tear gas towards protesters who attempted to get inside the water barriers.
“Open your umbrellas to protect yourself, some people are throwing items from above,” shouted this protester in Wan Chai.
Protesters here are telling us they are heading towards Central.
A few protesters are seen waving the “
#HongKong
Independence” flag in Wan Chai as they march towards Central.
“Liberate
#HongKong
, the revolution of our time,” some chanted.
Protesters can be seen marching both ways - eastwards and westwards - on Hennessy Road near the Southorn playground.
This is what happens when
@hkpoliceforce
bans a proper march.
@hkpoliceforce
“Dirty cops, return an eye,” some protesters chanted outside the
@hkpoliceforce
HQ.
We can also hear the sound of protesters ripping off metal barricades here.
@hkpoliceforce
Riot police fired more tear gas onto protesters on Harcourt Road from Wan Chai.
A protester said using a loudspeaker that people should retreat from the bridge as riot police could be moving in from the police HQ shortly.
@hkpoliceforce
Riot police have started moving in onto Harcourt Road where protesters were gathering earlier.
As noted by
@jgriffiths
, this is a massive deployment of police officers compared to the past few weeks.

@jgriffiths
“Liberate
#HongKong
, the revolution of our time,” some chanted amidst the fire.
We heard several loud “bang” sounds as the fire grew bigger.
This is beyond anything I have seen in the
#AntiELAB
protests so far.
