Ms. Zhang, who was outside the barrier of Paterson Street, said that her 38-year-old daughter and her friends were arrested.

She expressed excitement that she went to Causeway Bay with her daughter to eat food and buy books, but she was stopped by police officers for no reason when she walked to Paterson Street. She described it as "like catching a fish, and stopping a large group of people if there is nothing."

She bluntly said, "Originally celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with a happy heart, so it's not an indiscriminate arrest!" She was there again. The police officer asked her whereabouts, but the police officer only told her to return home to wait for news.
