A large group of protestors are gathering on the Park Lane Shopper's Boulevard, Tsim Sha Tsui, blocking the section of Nathan Road between Austin Road and Salisbury Road. This seriously affects emergency services for the public. Some protestors even hurled smoke bombs and hard objects, and aimed laser beams at Police officers.
