Incident at Sha Tau Kok on 8 July.
From 0930 on 8 July demonstrators
began to gather in the frontier area on
Chinese territory. During the next hour other
groups began to gather near the border and
anti-British propaganda was broadcast over
loudspeakers. At about 1100 hours the crowd
converged on the Sha Tau Kok police post in British Territory (B.T.) about 50 yards from
the border, and a group of 3-400, apparently
controlled and well organised, surrounded the police post and threw home-made bombs, normally used for illegal fishing, over the perimeter fence.
