Hong Kong police were trying to clear out Occupy Central protesters in Mong Kok late Wednesday, Nov. 5.

At about 10 p.m. HKT (9 a.m. EST), police were spotted massing at the Mong Kok protest site.

The police were probably there to keep an eye on the protesters who were holding a Million Mask March to commemorate Nov. 5, Guy Fawkes day.

Donning “V for Vendetta” Guy Fawkes masks and holding mini “Lion Rock” banners with the words “I want genuine universal suffrage” written on them, the protesters carried out a “Million Masks March” under the watchful gaze of the Hong Kong police.

Seemingly without warning, the police moved in on the student protesters on Argyle Street at about 12 a.m. HKT (11 a.m. EST), Nov. 6.
