18:40 A group of riot police have entered Harbour City, and pepper spray can be felt in the air. Minutes prior riot police were seen entering through the Ocean Centre portion of the mall, and were seen sprinting forward with pepper spray in hand. Police are now clearing the mall.
According to reports, a plainclothes police officer that had been monitoring the Christmas Shop With You protests broke away from his squad to chase after a civilian following a verbal dispute. He was photographed pulling what looks like a firearm from his holster during the commotion/chase. The officer was last seen running away from the scene.

19:41 Commissioner of Police Chris Tang Ping-Keung has made a statement to the press in Tsim Sha Tsui.
He expresses thanks to and respect for the police force for “upholding their duty” in preventing “destruction by rioters” and in “safeguarding the city” on Christmas Eve when most people would be celebrating with their families.
Tang blames the recent rise in crimes unrelated to protests on the destructive behaviour of “rioters” and the extra manpower needed to be diverted towards these incidents. He dismissed all the protesters’ destruction as senseless and irrational, and he claims protest-related destruction of stores around the city as the cause of the rise in burglaries - “allowing society as a whole to think it’s okay to break into stores and steal all the jewels and watches”.

17:48 A large group of police officers have suddenly entered Harbour City through the main entrance of Ocean Terminal, and have begun conducting stop and searches of civilians.
Earlier on they had been doing the same outside the mall near the ferry pier, and groups of police have been stationed outside various entrances to the mall since noon.
There has been a lack of obvious protest activities inside the mall today despite being one of the targets for today’s protests. Most civilians inside have been normal tourists and shoppers.
