The police later posted on Facebook that at about 4 pm, the police conducted an arrest operation on Causeway Road near Hing Fat Street in Causeway Bay. A police officer encountered a strong struggle and resistance during an attempt to subdue a suspect. At that time, a number of demonstrators around the police officer kept pushing him with sharp objects and umbrellas, throwing hard objects such as bricks and punching him. Some demonstrators even openly "robbed" and reached for the suspect, and the suspect and the demonstrators finally escaped. The policeman was injured and bleeds on his left shoulder.

The police said that they severely condemned the "thugs" for severely injuring other people's bodies. They also called such brutal and violent acts as heinous, and they will fully investigate and pursue the attackers "without relentlessness."
