This is some of the challenge of getting injured protesters off the bridge as a tear gas canister starts going off a few inches from him

Back on bridge. We’ve reached the point where they’re putting the javelins to use. (Earlier this afternoon the shot puts were being used to break apart bricks. )

This is frontline of protests on the far side of bridge no. 2. All night this has been a fight to reclaim bridge to keep police out of CUHK

I legit don’t even know how they did this but protesters just carried the burnt out car that was on fire earlier this afternoon to the bridge?? And added it to the barrier, and cheered when they lifted it and tipped it on its side

Under the bridge vehicles are stopped and there’s a ton of debris
It’s 1am in HK and there’s still a human supply chain of protesters passing supplies to each other as they hold down bridge to CUHK that was earlier occupied by riot police
