On August 31 last year, a serious clash broke out at Prince Edward Station. Some demonstrators were suspected of having disputes and physical conflicts with the citizens present in the carriage. Afterwards, a large number of Athlon team members and riot police officers entered the Prince Station, pursued on the platform, and waved truncheons and pepper spray to those wearing masks in the compartment. Many people were injured. Police arrested more than 60 people in the incident.
After the incident, there have been rumors that some people died in the conflict that night. The government and police departments have repeatedly clarified their denials. MTR has also published 26 screenshots of CCTV in the station that night. However, the public has always been dissatisfied. On the 31st of every month, they will gather outside the Prince Station and present flowers.
