【警方澄清：警方正於暢運道一帶拘捕及驅散，並沒有「攻入」理工大學】
有傳言指警方「攻入」理工大學，警方澄清絕無此事。
自凌晨起，大批暴徒於暢運道聚集，向警方投擲多枚汽油彈，並不斷縱火，現場曾傳出多響爆炸聲。警方亦一直派員驅散，並出動人群管理特別用途車，及使用催淚煙。
清晨五時半左右，警方繼續於暢運道進行拘捕及驅散行動。同時間，理工大學內聚集的暴徒，於校園內大肆縱火破壞。
警方重申，並無「攻入」理工大學校園。校園內多處起火，亦有大量爆炸品、易燃物品，及危險品，極為危險。警方呼籲於理工大學校園內的人立刻離開。
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.
