Hong Kong police hold a press conference on the latest protests. On January 1st at around 6 PM, rioters spray-painted the outer wall of the High Court to insult a judge. As the night fell, masked rioters recklessly vandalized public facilities in Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, and Central areas where roads were blocked with barricades and some banks and ATM's were set on fire. Police used tear gas and a Specialized Crowd Management Vehicle as dispersal measures, and warn all rioters to stop the violence as arrest actions will be taken.
