Hong Kong protest 'bottle flip' moment goes viral
Hong Kong protesters took to the internet to praise the man who in a video shared over 4,000 times on Facebook could be seen walking up to nearby riot police after successfully flipping a water bottle.
Footage showed police first talking to the bottle flipper before proceeding to walk away from Tung Chung MTR station.
Comments on social media said the "uncle" had chased away the officers, though it was not clear what caused police to leave the scene.
Police on Saturday (September 8) closed the station after hundreds of residents thronged it for what protesters refer to as a "stress test" of road and rail links in the Chinese-ruled city.
The same station was closed the week before after protesters smashed ticket vending machines and ticket gantries.
