    Inside Poly U now with a Reuters team. We’ll stay whatever happens. A sense of foreboding amid grave fears of a bloody showdown, hundreds of tenacious and desperate protesters trapped on all sides by police, some highly on edge #HK #HongKongProtests #StandWithHongKong

        Battle now largely focused on the w. flank of Poly U near Chatham road. A water cannon pelting protesters in repeated sorties, trying to dwindle supplies of firebombs. Many facing it full on, scalded by the liquid, screaming in pain while being hosed down #HongKongProtests #HK
