In regard to queries that the police were not capable of handling the clashes in time, Lai explained that as the crowd grew bigger in Mong Kok, fights scattered in different locations, making it more difficult for the police to deal with them. Of the 19 people arrested, eight of them are suspected to have triad backgrounds, according to Lai.
