H:-) Hi
20730 Attention Glover SITREP. At West Point on Hong Kong Island
peace was disturbed briefly shortly after dark yesterday following
fireworks being let off in harbour near this point in an attempt to buy
cheap publicity by violating the ban imposed by Government. At about
eight o'clock last Sunday night a crowd of about fifteen hundred (repeat
fifteen hundred) threw bottles and rattan baskets at the police who were
sent there to disperse them. A man from among this crowd was killed by
carbine shots when police were forced to open fire. Altogether police
fired two carbine shots, three revolver shots, four baton shells and
five gas grenades. Six people including two women from this crowd were
arrested.
At one time a Lighter tied up to a wharf nearby broadcast to crowd.
It stopped broadcasting when it was warned by marine police who went
there in eight marine police launches and in a fire float.
About two hours later police arrested another seventy six (repeat
seventy six) people including five (repeat five) women in a subsequent
crowd of about three hundred (repeat three hundred) who appeared in same
area. One police corporal was slightly injured in face when he was
attacked by the crowd with a hard object. One of the arrested men was
detained in hospital for treatment of injuries which he received when he
struggled with police who arrested him. Police fired a total of twelve
(repeat twelve) baton shells to disperse this crowd. Peace returned to
this area after the crowd was dispersed at about quarter to eleven
o'clock last night.
Apart from the above incidents yesterday passed peacefully.
