A video on Facebook, meanwhile, appears to show the moment protesters discover an undercover officer firing what appears to be pepper rounds.
Authorties, of course, are calling for calm: "The president calls on protesters to express their calls through peaceful means and hopes all parties can resolve the social conflicts altogether," said a spokesman for Legislative Council president Andrew Leung Kwan-yuen.
Meanwhile, as Bloomberg's Fion Li reports, the riot police is now sweeping across the subway, in an attempt to make mass arrests.
