【警方澄清：警方正于畅运道一带拘捕及驱散，并没有“攻入”理工大学】
有传言指警方“攻入”理工大学，警方澄清绝无此事。
自凌晨起，大批暴徒于畅运道聚集，向警方投掷多枚汽油弹，并不断纵火，现场曾传出多响爆炸声。警方亦一直派员驱散，并出动人群管理特别用途车，及使用催泪烟。
清晨五时半左右，警方继续于畅运道进行拘捕及驱散行动。同时间，理工大学内聚集的暴徒，于校园内大肆纵火破坏。
警方重申，并无“攻入”理工大学校园。校园内多处起火，亦有大量爆炸品、易燃物品，及危险品，极为危险。警方呼吁于理工大学校园内的人立刻离开。
Rumours stated that Police “raided” the premises of Polytechnic University. We clarify that this statement is totally false.
Since midnight, a large gang of rioters gathered at Cheong Wan Road, hurled petrol bombs at the Police. They also set objects ablaze. Multiple explosions were heard. Police have been conducting dispersal operation. Specialised Crowd Management Vehicle and tear gas were deployed.
At around 5:30 AM, Police continue to conduct dispersal and arrest operation. At the mean time, rioters gathering inside the Polytechnic University set fire and caused extensive damage.
We reiterate that we had not “raided” the premises of Polytechnic University. Fires were observed in various locations in the University premises. Explosives, flammable substances and dangerous goods also pose threats to anyone therein. Police appeal to anyone inside Polytechnic University to leave immediately.
