This time the end came quickly.
Occupiers camped out in Nathan Road, Mong Kok, were taken by surprise when a special police squad stormed their site and ended their 60-day sit-in.
"I was really frightened," said a female protester. "I saw a group of officers suddenly push in.
"They didn't give us enough time to retreat. It could have caused a stampede."
The clearance was in stark contrast to Argyle Street a day before, when protesters were given time to negotiate with bailiffs and legal representatives from the Chiu Luen Lightbus Company before the matter went to police.
