Female Journalist Lost Consciousness After Being Pepper Sprayed
23:51 | #MongKok
Riot police dispersed the crowd, including press close to midnight. A female journalist was pepper-sprayed and shoved violently by the police. She fell down and lost her consciousness. Volunteer first-aiders on site tried to revive her by slapping her face, to no avail.
Some civilians at the scene shouted: “Don’t fall asleep! You can make it through!”
Since the start of the anti-extradition movement, journalists and volunteer first-aiders have been risking their lives to serve the public, while constantly being huge target boards to the police. Over the months, numerous first-aiders and members of the press have gotten injured, arrested, beaten and harassed by the police.

Editor's Note:
The above mentioned journalist was not the only one who fainted tonight after being pepper-sprayed.
Although this has not been confirmed, it is suspected that “unknown chemicals” were added to their usual pepper-spray concoction by the police. Pepper-spray causing people to lose consciousness is unheard of.

Unconscious Man Kicked by Police; Man Seen Having Minor Convulsions
0049 - 0106 | Mong Kok
On Argyle Street, police forcibly dragged a man into the middle of the road. The man seemed to be unconscious, laying flat on his back. A reporter noted that his eyes were closed, and was unresponsive.
An officer in white shoes was seen kicking the unconscious man's head repeatedly. A large number of riot police and plainclothes soon surrounded him, and searched his belongings.
Police subsequently rolled him over into the recovery position; no ambulance has arrived yet. Police denied volunteer first-aiders from approaching the man at first; after some negotiations, they allowed one first-aider to attend to the man at around 0058. The man was seen to have slight spasms in his lower body.
He later was escorted onto an ambulance, requiring a respirator. A police vehicle followed the ambulance.

In the video, 2 police officers were head-locking a black-clad youngster attempting to pin him to the ground and arrest him.
The officers stepped on his feet, twisted his arm backwards and pushed his head to the ground, causing the young man to scream in pain.
