On November 6, a 23-year-old mainland Ph.D. student surnamed Zheng was pursued and beaten by a group of masked radicals at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), during an open forum between students and university President Wei Shyy. 

On November 8, masked radicals smashed cafes in HKUST in protests against the death of Chow Tse-lok, a 22-year-old HKUST student, who died after a severe brain injury in a car park fall.
