          Earlier, a CUHK statement said that at around 10:30am some people had broken into the equipment shed of the sports grounds and taken some items, including bows, arrows and javelins I can confirm from first-hand observations that sports items have been taken to the frontline herepic.twitter.com/LJOXidLGOd

          With the police now back at the bridge for the time being, protesters are trying to fortify the barricades. It might take a while to get this bus moving though, even if they all work together...pic.twitter.com/ztpiPbuo9S

          They did eventually get one of the buses moving, but once it got too close to the burning barricade, protesters seemed to sense the danger and reversed it back. Firefighters then arrivedpic.twitter.com/BeyfjdhRAs

          Following Tuan’s dialogue with police, he began talking with students. There is a lot of angry shouting, including a chant of 「放人!」”release!” as students demand the vice-chancellor stand up for their arrested classmates As Tuan speaks, a fire is still smouldering behind himpic.twitter.com/iLzS9qMrNh

          Police have accused protesters of violating a consensus between the force and CUHK by continuing to throw Molotov cocktails and other projectiles The consensus was supposed to enable a police retreat, but protesters have little trust in the good faith of the negotiating partiespic.twitter.com/J3H6DBcMYm
