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.

Another hard evidence of police brutality in arresting young protesters
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.

Pepper Spray at Close-Range; Riot Police Ignores Fallen Woman
Feb 29 marks the sixth month after the 831 Attack. Citizens gathered in Mongkok to pay tribute to the casualties, and protest against police brutality. However, police's violence escalated into indiscriminate use of weapons towards citizens.
At around 2315, one mid-age woman, apparently a passer-by, was pepper-sprayed in close range. She fell down, but riot police ran by ignoring her.
Reporters were pepper-sprayed as well- just as police's usual "friendly" behavior towards the press. From the photo above, it is clearly seen that they were sprayed deliberately, even their cameras could not escape from that.

Arbitrary Arrests and Excessive Use of Weapons at Late Night
During the clash on 29 Feb in Mongkok, at about 12am, police had arrested about 30-40 citizens, including those who were wearing reflective vests and volunteer first-aiders who had the word "First Aid" tagged on their helmets. Some arrestees had their hands tied with cable ties. Police vehicles were also deployed to prevent reporters from shooting videos from the other side of the road.
At about 1.15 am, the police fired pepper balls towards reporters. Some of the shots hit the stores close by, and the irritating contents inside the bullets were projected onto the doors.

Interview With Tai Po District Councillor Lam Ming-yat: Riot Police Shot Pepper Spray To Another Council Member Man Nim-chi Despite He Was Cooperative
Before the start of the rally against Tai Po Jockey Club Clinic being a designated clinic for Chinese Pneumonia patients, large number of riot police officers were deployed and they frisked people at the scene including residents and press.
Tai Po district councilors also stood-by in case of emergency. According to Tai Po District Councillor Lam Ming-yat, despite riot police kept changing the cordon lines forward without proper communication, district councilors including Man Nim-chi were corporative. That said, when Man Nim-chi was stepping back, riot polices suddenly shot his back with pepper spray without any prior warning. Man was hurt and received assistance from voluntary first-aiders accordingly.
Lam also pointed that the rally had not started successfully due to police’s mass arrest. At least 20 teenagers were stopped and searched by police. From his observation, none of them carried dangerous item.
