At 3:00 pm on the next day, more than 100 residents of nearby housing estates constructed makeshift road blocks with portable traffic barriers, bricks and bicycles to obstruct the entrance to Fai Ming Estate, in an attempt to prevent the government from transporting supplies into the housing estate. At 7 pm, district councillors arrived at the scene to calm tensions, but to no avail: the building lobby was set on fire with petrol bombs, the road block was extended to nearby Wah Ming Road, and several traffic lights on Wah Ming Road were damaged. Firefighters arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire an hour later. The protest crossed party lines, with participation from both supporters and opponents of the government.
