      To add to the overall hideousness of today, there is video circulating of a man who argued with protesters being doused in a flammable liquid and set alight in Ma On Shan. Not posting video as too graphic but this screen grab gives an idea of how violent this attack was.pic.twitter.com/8kxlonCgBt

      We are working to verify the videos from Ma On Shan. At the moment, police tell us they received reports at 12.53pm that a man was attacked and set alight in Ma On Shan and are investigating both the reports, and the videos.

      Hospital Authority says a man with burns was brought in a critical condition to Prince Wales Hospital, which is the nearest facility to Ma On Shan. They don't say how the man got those burns because they wouldn't know.

      Lam's presser this evening was deja vu. Condemnation of violence, appeal for calm, determination to end unrest but no new ideas, solutions, gestures that might either end the violence or tamp down huge public anger.
