Aug. 31 was the third anniversary of the Prince Edward MTR Station Attack by Hong Kong Police, known as the “831 incident” locally. There was a heavy police presence both inside and outside the Prince Edward Station on that day. Some people wore black shirts and held yellow umbrellas as they passed by the station, some people placed flowers for commemoration, and some brought a model of Lady Liberty Hong Kong to the venue and took photos.
A young man in a grey shirt was escorted by the police officers forcibly into the back alley of Union Square, a building nearby. First, he was searched by the police officers, then he was handcuffed and subdued from the back. “Don’t touch me,” he shouted. He was finally taken away in a police vehicle.
