    Three black flags were raised on Waterloo Street in #MongKok after protesters moved forward. Volleys of teargas fired towards Nathan Road, enshrouding the area in smoke. At least one petrol bomb was thrown in return.pic.twitter.com/F9QMAoNXQl

        More teargas fired. Three flags raised. But riot police still have not blocked Waterloo Road, so every green light, vehicles pass through, offering a brief window of ceasefire for protesters to move up again.pic.twitter.com/OjTQLspJlJ

        With riot police gone, protesters have dismantled a pole and moved it to the front to build roadblocks. Some creative and elaborate barriers being constructed now, materials include long bamboo sticks.pic.twitter.com/A3IVeusuB3

        A McDonald had its glass smashed. Others who passed by were as confused as I am. Why Mc? Is this the first branch to be vandalised?pic.twitter.com/sdrU7wf1HY

        A man was stacking bricks thrown on the road in hope that it could stop a water cannon in its track and buy protesters more time to leave. “It would only work if a lot of people do it together,” he says.pic.twitter.com/4dUIqdcjXp

        One person arrested on Nelson Street. Riot police immediately asked reporters to back off, one shoved me. Another was unnecessarily aggressive, putting his pepper spray in the face of another press member. Detainee now taken into an alley.pic.twitter.com/HkDBah0q3R

        Pepper spray pointed at my face again. A small number of people were gathered across the road, where officers were searching a detainee. Correction: man brought into lobby of a building, not alley.pic.twitter.com/K0L9fyZTYK

        Same officer and his toy again. Some civilians and protesters are gathered on the opposite street, but no, he had to come and threaten a group of journalists with his pepper spray. “I already warned you! Stop giving cover to rioters!”pic.twitter.com/cw4KldnHiq
