At around 4pm, the MTR Corporation announced temporary suspension of the Central station due to violence.

"Trains on the Tsuen Wan Line and Island Line will not stop at the station," an MTR message read. It advised passengers to interchange at Admiralty Station for the Tsuen Wan Line/Island Line.

Hundreds of protesters, many black-clad, marched towards the US consulate. While waving US flags, the radical protesters sought US help in realizing their demands and played the US national anthem.
