IN PICTURES: Mongkok, Admiralty stand-off in Occupy Central's first night
A lone pedestrian enjoys Chater Road in Central to himself at 10.50am on Monday as pro-democracy protests blocked access to what is usually one of Hong Kong’s busiest downtown streets. The scene is reminiscent of the 2001 film Vanilla Sky, in which a character played by Tom Cruise find himself in a deserted Times Square in New York. Photo: SCMP Pictures, David Wong

Thousands of protesters in Hong Kong defied armed riot police and tear gas and spent the night on the streets of the territory. As Occupy Central enters its second day, pro-democracy advocates debate how to carry the civil disobedience movement’s momentum forward. Some debate about whether they should clear some of the occupied areas in Causeway Bay, Admiralty and Mong Kok or stay put.
