At least a quarter of the 28,000-strong police force will turn out to handle the possible chaos should the Occupy Central movement for democracy carry out its threat to block streets in the main business hub later this month, sources close to the matter say.

The deployment would be the largest police operation since the city mobilised 9,000 officers during six days of World Trade Organisation meetings in 2005.
