A group of people walked out from where nearly 100 were subdued on Hennessy Road.
One of those released from Hennessy Road was put on an oxygen mask and helped away by rescuers after some volunteer medics took care of him for a while. A first aider who helped him said the boy’s heart felt unwell after being gassed and he claimed to have rheumatoid arthritis.
A girl released from Hennessy Road who called herself N said she believed two to three hundreds of people were subdued but only some 60 were released. She said police had been humiliating and threatening those in detention and asked them to provide reasons and proofs for their...
...presence on the road. She was asked to uphold her ID card for a mugshot and had her personal information recorded before release. She said the release was decided arbitrarily as some were kept inside only because a surgical mask was found.
A young man released from Hennessy Road and called himself W said police warned that they might go to his home for further search after taking his information. He said about 300 people were subdued along Hennessy, adding up two groups outside Sogo and Citibank, and about 60...
...were released after search. W also said police talked “like triads” to the people detained. Three of his friends are still in the group and he saw two of them having hands tied up with plastic wires.
A total of eight coaches were deployed to Hennessy Road and this is the seventh leaving, witnesses said.
Among the belongings left behind by people subdued and arrested outside Causeway Bay Sogo, many are medicines usually carried along by first aiders.
Compared with those left outside Sogo, belongings abandoned by the group subdued outside TSL, Citibank and Bank of China are obviously much less and simpler.
