A protest march was held on 25 August 2019, as part of the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests. The march took place in the Tsuen Wan and Kwai Tsing districts, starting at the Kwai Chung Sports Ground and passing through streets such as Kuai Fuk Road and Yeung Uk Road, ending at Tsuen Wan Park. The march was organized by the Tsuen Kwai Tsing March Preparation Group, with Lam Kai-hong as the applicant and Yu Ngai-ming as the coordinator. Due to the conflicts that arose during the march and rally, the Specialised Crowd Management Vehicle (water cannon vehicle) was used for the first time that day, and water was sprayed twice within an hour. The march and rally eventually ended early, and after the Hong Kong Police (hereinafter referred to as "the police") cleared the area, some protesters moved to Yi Pei Square, where a suspected white-clad gang attack had occurred earlier, and vandalized businesses such as mahjong parlors. They also clashed with several police officers; police later confirmed that a uniformed officer had fired a shot, marking the first instance of live ammunition being used in the crackdown on the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Movement.
