Protestors have once again taken to the streets in Central, temporarily paralyzing road traffic as they begin their march in defiance of a ban issued by the police.
Earlier: Chater Garden, onlookers on a bus heading home as the anti-riot police cordon off the area. Today marks the 1yr anniversary of the day where a million took to the streets in protest of the #AntiExtraditionBill that would later be also known as the #HongKongProtests.
The police have once again raised the blue flag as the march down Queen's Road Central, traffic at a complete standstill.
Onlookers and people that are more dressed for office work than a protest look on as police continue their push down the road.
Cops have now pushed into Pedder Street. It is not known if they are here for shopping or other purposes.
Crowds assembled on the footbridges connecting the various malls in the area watching the commotion.

An entire parade of police vehicles have arrived to do a thing, what that thing is remains to be seen.
Blue flag up, earning cheers and applause from the crowd for not being boring.
Pepper spray and pepper ball rounds have been deployed.
Large stop and search underway, at least 2 of them are volunteer first aid personal.

Police have pushed forward to the Pedder Street intersection in response to some heckling.
At least a dozen First Aid volunteers gave been detained in this mass stop and search. A Citibank ATM area has been briefly appropriated by the police to search those detained.
Detained yet to be released, at least 6 have been arrested and taken away. One is understood to be a member of the press that failed to produce credentials.
All those detained earlier have been cuffed and in the process of being taken to North Point police station.
I count a total of at least 15 arrested on this bus in addition to the previous 6. Other sources indicate that I might have miscounted and a total of 17 male and 8 females arrested, including Yeun Long district councillor Lam Chun
Last pic to end the thread: A cop stationed on a footbridge overlooking the streets as the arrested were being loaded into buses, the silhouette of his weapon clearly visible next to him.
