After police had subdued and arrested three suspects, around 50-60 riot police arrive as reinforcements. It is not clear why there was reinforcements for only 3 arrestees; their public relations officers had not offered explanations either.
Officers have been rather rude toward reporters and first aiders at the scene, accusing those without high-visibility vests to be protesters masquerading as reporters; and that since they were not reporters, they had no business to be here.

Police Suddenly Arrests Many in Restaurant
2230 | Yuen Long
Suddenly, a large group of police are stopping and using plastic bands to arrest civilians in the area. Reporters were driven out of the scene, so it is unclear what is going on other than 4-5 youngsters were arrested. Some police began asking amongst themselves, "Do we have enough numbers?" "We took one here, one there," seemingly to make sure they reach a quota of arrests.
