CONFIDENTIAL

In Kowloon there were two riotous assemblies both quickly dispersed and one bomb thrown at a police vehicle. All posters, slogans and newspapers were removed by the police from the outside of major Communist premises in Nathan Road during the early hours of the morning.

In Tsuen Wan, disorderly crowds formed and were dispersed by the police. Two detectives were stabbed, one seriously, while making arrests and another was injured by a bomb. A series of police raids were carried out in one of which a man was found dead who is believed to have been wounded in a clash with police. Various improvised weapons were recovered. 26 people, in all, were arrested.
