The fire at bridge connecting PolyU and HH station now largely put off. Protesters also asked firefighters to stop trying to put off fire..
Police warning protesters to leave PolyU or they will make arrest. “You have already damaged the school’s reputation!” Protesters shouted back “if you don’t try to enter campus then there won’t be a problem!”
PolyU also become a first-aid station, and a place for protesters to take refugee. “Please treasure the book.” Some wrote. Largely intact inside but seems water slowly spilling in near a toilet or sth.pic.twitter.com/pqFVYzIAlE
“Fight back, not just a slogan.” #polyu #hongkongprotestspic.twitter.com/rEPdr8c1hd
JUST IN: Most exits in PolyU guarded by police. But Police asked everyone to evacuate via Block Y. That could be the only available exit in campus.pic.twitter.com/XWphSzvLMq
But there’s barricade and police awaiting the exits at block Y in PolyUpic.twitter.com/e2zbALcUra
The exit at Block Y managed to work. But police said for press without valid pass will be charged for rioting.
BREAKING: Several reporters without credentials and first-aiders, when planning to leave via Block Y, have been allegedly held and accused for “aiding rioting”. Police earlier claim exit at Y is good to go.

Only reporters with valid press pass allowed to go at roadblock after Block Y in PolyU. Other reporters failed to show press pass/not accredited (eg HKGolden) are NOT allowed to leave.
For about 45min (from 10.03pm), have NOT SEEN ANYONE come out from PolyU core Y, except me and another reporter.
Drivers waiting to pick up protesters are not allowed to stay, police threatening to use tear gas. They also noted down the car plate of a van, “we will come back to you afterwards!” They said.pic.twitter.com/kICVDqUdYA
Outside of Methodist School and Queen Elizabeth Hospital, a group of six and seven are randomly stopped and searched by police, while just walking relatively slowly.pic.twitter.com/3tFNw2vJzr
Police has also roadblock along Wylie Road, which effectively slow down the key road to Queen Elizabeth Hospital. How is hospital’s Accident & Emergency (A&E) work under such congested traffic?pic.twitter.com/ICvJmirkSw
Paramedics and first-aider also likely brought to police station.https://twitter.com/demosisto/status/1196106260686368769 …
At least a dozen of students, aged 15-below 18, is still trapped inside campus, per DP lawmaker Ted Hui. Hui himself is also in campus and facing the risk of being arrested for rioting. The water and food supply in campus is gradually running out, he added.
At least 1 uni student journalist & 1+ secondary student journalists are taken to police stations, source says.
@HKJA_Official did manage to negotiate with police and most journalists of online media outlet could go, though student journo may need to record personal ID.
“Many have tried to find other exits but failed,” said DP lawmaker Ted Hui. He said most people in PolyU campus are rested. “I’m going to stay till the very end.”
Some journos of online media released, after being searched and noting down their HKID.pic.twitter.com/19Yfc0wyaF
