People in black are lining up at the bus station

Dozens of riot police rushed from West Kowloon Station to outside Austin Station at 5.30 pm and intercepted more than 10 people in black who were standing in line at the bus stop. The police then set up a blockade line, asking the men in black to remove their masks, and searched, interrogated and registered information from them, and then released them one by one.

Chen Ziwei, who was also intercepted, said that he was wearing black at the time, so he believed he was intercepted because he believed that the attitude of the police was better than expected. Chen Ziwei also said that the police did not explain why he was stopped.
