The protesters occupied Hennessy Road and blocked traffic lanes. Multiple vehicles were forced to stop. The police are enforcing the law in a restrained and rigorous manner, instructing the crowd to return to the pavement to restore order as soon as possible. Some of the protesters refused to listen to the police and were arrested for illegal gatherings, obstructing police officers, and possession of assault weapons.

The police requested the crowd to stop all illegal acts, and warn that law enforcement actions will be taken.
