Police Intimidated Holiday Makers on the Street of Hong Kong before Christmas
2124 Mongkok
Riot police suddenly pushed forward to the intersaction outside the back door of Langham Place. They charged into the crowds with pepper spray in their hand. Out of control, police threatened and sworn foul words at civilians.
The police also shone high intensity of white lights, in an attempt to disperse civilians who were out to celebrate Christmas Eve.
Three minutes later, all riot police regrouped and moved forward to the intersaction point of Argyle Street and Shang Tung Street. Civilians said to riot police, "walk back to the side walk!”--what the police usually order press and passersby.
