Following, Hong Kong protesters launched a full-swing non-cooperation movement on Monday afternoon, evolving into clashes with multiple rounds of tear gas fired by police in different districts. At North Point in the evening, a group of men with poles attacked demonstrators, leading to a street brawl.

Across the city, protesters blocked roads and the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, started fires at police stations and threw a Chinese flag into Victoria Harbour.

They had planned to stage peaceful sit-ins in different districts - including Admiralty, Tsuen Wan and Sha Tin - and protest at government offices to call on civil servants to join their strike, but as with the pattern in recent weeks, tensions between radicals and police escalated, turning pedestrian and residential zones into battlefields.
