港人千方百計營救學生 遭密集催淚彈阻截

香港理工大學形勢緊張，數百名抗議學生被圍困，斷水斷食、無路可逃，並面臨警方暴力威脅。香港市民通過各種辦法營救學生。大批市民冒著警方強力的催淚彈走向理工大學；還有市民組成「人鏈」輸送物資；也有市民通過電單車營救一批學生，但不幸有的在路上被抓捕。

18日晚，成千上萬名香港市民湧上街頭，趕往遭警察重重包圍的香港理工大學，試圖幫助被困在校園內的抗議者。影片可見，大批市民舉著傘向理工大學走去，警方則接連密集發射催淚彈、橡皮子彈，並且使用水炮車阻截，以阻止他們前行。

Woman w/ camera asked 「do they want to kill us all?」 Watch for yourself & contemplate if #HongKong police is using force to protect themselves from immediate danger, or to go for a crackdown.

Riot police are continuing to march down Salisbury Road, firing a hail of tear gas and pushing protesters back toward TST. This couple was caught in their car with only surgical masks as a miasma of tear gas enveloped them. pic.twitter.com/C5k5b1yN1U

人們還形成了「人鏈」，傳遞雨傘、水、頭盔，一直傳遞到跟警方對峙的前線。

香港市民再度自發組成人鏈營救學生，傳遞雨傘、水、頭盔，人鏈由太空館一帶開始，一直傳遞到跟警方對峙的前線。

香港大學學生會校園電視拍攝到在尖沙咀的現場圖片，市民組成多條人鏈，看不到盡頭。

A supply chain has formed along Salisbury Road, passing along umbrellas, zip ties and materials for barricades to the frontline. The crowd just keeps swelling. Just when I think people are retreating today, someone shouts 「save the students!」 and something like this happens. pic.twitter.com/r2XpPUAo6b

也有市民通過電單車展開營救。一批理工大學抗爭者從天橋墜繩而下，被等候的多名電單車手接走，期間防暴警員趕至多次施放催淚彈，險象環生。

《南華早報》引述抗議者消息稱，數十名抗議者通過這種方法被救出。

Dramatic getaway of some #PolyU protesters, who abseiled down from a bridge, and sped away on the backs of motorbikes that came out of nowhere on a flyover. Police pelted them with tear gas and projectiles as they perched on precarious ledges #HK #HongKongProtest pic.twitter.com/8vBBzhmGF0
