　　昨日（十一月三日）大批蒙面暴徒在全港多区有组织地破坏设施及目标商铺、堵塞交通及袭击警务人员，警方对暴徒予以强烈谴责。

　　Since 1pm yesterday， various groups of protestors gathered at malls in different districts including Sha Tin， Tuen Mun， Tai Po and Taikoo。 The situation was generally peaceful initially。 Some masked rioters later vandalised MTR facilities and shops in the malls extensively in an organised manner， and blocked exits of the shopping malls。 Masked rioters popped up in various shopping malls to escape from Police。 In response to the crimes， Police officers entered the malls， including New Town Plaza in Sha Tin， Trend Plaza in Tuen Mun， Tai Po Mega Mall and Cityplaza in Taikoo to embark on the arrest operations。

　　昨日下午一时起，多批示威者于全港多区的主要商场聚集，包括沙田、屯门、大埔及太古等，开始时情况大致和平。其后，多批蒙面暴徒破坏港铁站设施、在商场内有计划地肆意破坏设施及目标商店，以及堵塞商场出入口。蒙面暴徒亦在多个商场流窜，逃避警务人员追捕。为处理相关罪案及采取拘捕行动，警务人员遂分别进入沙田新城市广场、屯门时代广场、大埔超级城及太古城中心。

　　When Police were handling the cases in the malls， some rioters threw miscellaneous objects from height at Police officers。 Some rioters surrounded， scolded and assaulted people with different political views。 Masked rioters’ blatant defiance of the law cannot be condoned。 Police strongly condemn these acts。

　　警方到场处理上述案件期间，部分在商场内的暴徒从高处向警务人员投掷杂物。此外，亦有暴徒在不同地点包围、指骂并殴打持不同意见的市民。此等行为公然挑战法治，行为令人发指，警方予以强烈谴责。

　　At around 7.30pm， a wounding case happened in Taikoo Shing， in which five people were sent to hospital and two of them are in critical condition。 Police strongly condemn violent acts and will conduct active and thorough investigation with a view to bringing offenders to justice， regardless of their motive and background。

　　在晚上约七时三十分，太古城更出现严重伤人案，五人需要送医院治理，当中两人目前情况危殆。警方强烈谴责所有暴力行为，不论任何犯案原因或背景，警方都会严肃处理案件，并会积极调查跟进。

　　At night， some masked protestors flash mobbed Tai Po Tai Wo Road。 They built barricades with miscellaneous objects including public light bus stands， rubbish bins and railings， blocking the carriageways。 Some protestors in Yuen Long damaged traffic lights and built barricades with miscellaneous objects to block Castle Peak Road - Yuen Long。

　　入夜后，有蒙面示威者以快闪方式，冲出大埔太和路，以小巴站牌、垃圾筒、栏杆等杂物筑成路障，一度阻塞马路多条行车线。元朗亦有示威者在青山公路 - 元朗段以杂物筑成路障，又大肆破坏交通灯。

　　Police strongly condemn rioters‘ violent and vandalistic acts。 Police reiterate that no violent behaviour will be tolerated。 Police will continue to take resolute enforcement action so as to safeguard the city’s public safety and bring all lawbreakers to justice。

　　警方强烈谴责暴徒目无法纪的暴力及破坏行为。警方重申，绝不容忍任何人为达任何目的而诉诸暴力，必定坚决采取执法行动以回复社会秩序，并对所有违法行为追究到底。

　　特区政府声明：

　　The Government severely condemned violent attacks and vandalism in Sha Tin， Tuen Mun， Tai Po and Taikoo Shing， which jeopardised public safety and breached public peace。

　　In a statement， the Government expressed deep regret and condemned a violent assault incident in Taikoo Shing tonight。

　　It appealed to people with different views to put aside their differences， stay rational and exercise restraint as well as embrace harmony and respect diversity。 They should abide by the law and not to resort to vigilantism。

　　It stated that in some districts， masked rioters triggered chaos and panic by vandalising MTR facilities and shops， prompting the early closure of large shopping malls。

　　In Tuen Mun， some people disregarded public safety by blocking one mall’s main entrance。 In an emergency， such actions would have been potentially disastrous as it could have seriously affected people’s ability to exit safely。 Such behaviour is strongly condemned。

　　To safeguard the public and uphold the rule of law， Police are required to conduct dispersal operations resolutely， arrest suspected offenders and strictly enforce the law。

　　今日沙田、屯门、大埔、太古城等区出现袭击和破坏行为，危害市民人身安全和扰乱社会安宁，政府予以严厉谴责。

　　政府在声明中表示，蒙面暴徒下午起再次发动攻击，肆意破坏港铁设施和个别商铺，导致不少大型商场提早关门，令多区陷入混乱和恐慌。

　　在屯门区，有人更堵塞商场主要出入口，罔顾大众安危。倘若商场发生紧急事故，将严重阻碍市民离开，情况不堪设想。

　　至于晚上在太古城发生的伤人事件，政府深表遗憾，严厉谴责暴力行为。政府呼吁意见不同人士放下分歧，保持理性克制、和而不同的态度，绝不可蔑视法纪，行使私刑。

　　声明指出，为确保公众安全、维护法治，警方必须果断采取驱散行动，拘捕涉嫌违法者，严正执法，以尽快恢复社会秩序。
