A female driver bursts into tears when being intercepted and her car driven away by riot police
Around 13:30 today (July 1), police blocked off the road from Great George Street to Victoria Park. In the meantime, a black car drove through the police cordon line without stopping. The car was later intercepted and the female driver being yanked outside the car for inquiry.
Looked utterly flustered, the driver queried riot police, “Who are you all? How can you do these to people?” She was then dragged to the other side of the car to open the trunk for further police investigation. She later burst into tear and begged riot police to return her belongings, as she saw her car being driven away by an officer.

Riot Police and Special Tactical Squad officers suddenly rushed inside Time Square mall and fired pepper balls multiple times. The intensity from the shots coming from the pepper balls have also seemed to cause some weakening in the plaster ceiling, as debris could be seen lying all over the floor.

Members of Student Politicism arrested when setting up street booth
#StudentPoliticism, a local organisation, first planned to set up a street booth in Causeway Bay. However, due to heavy police deployment and the cordon lines, the organisation had to relocate the booth in Mongkok.
Members of the organisation prepared leaflets to be distributed, but were surrounded by a large group of police. The police demanded all citizens on site to leave, otherwise they would be fined for violation of the 599G gathering ban.
At around 1700, three core members of Student Politicism and one volunteer were arrested, including the convenor #WongYatChin.
