“First-aider now being interviewed: He suspects the injured person has a broken bone in neck and back. He had difficulty breathing & was becoming unconscious. The first-aider asked police to unbind his wrists bcoz he was losing consciousness. Police refused. His pulse dropped”

"only after about 10 mins when a firefighter intervened did the police relent and untie the victims hands. "

"witnesses said victim had vomited after being tackled by police, a symptom of spinal injury. there was blood around his mouth the first aider said. "

Edit: since most of reddit isn't actually from Hong Kong here's a list of ways in which you can help

Edit2: thanks for the gold, but gilding me isn't going to help :(

Donate to groups supporting the protestors on the ground instead

here’s a video of the incident on YouTube

Here’s a different angle with a few more seconds of the violence

6 policemen brutally beat up a kid by putting their body weight on him causing him injury to the neck.

00:34 you can hear him throw up. (sign of spinal injury)

The police wouldn’t let first aid team help him and ordered the boy to get up. When they found he was unconscious they further tried to drag the boy away from the press and public.

When they found he was unconscious and had no reaction they eventually let first aid near; first aid crew said they need to cut his clothing to help him but the police refused, and refused to uncuff the boy.

Eventually ambulance was called and the boy is in a critical condition in the hospital now.

It's obvious what daddy China is doing:

Make police become so brutal that protestors HAVE to fight back, be it because of outrage or just to survive. Then Pooh can come in with his military under the excuse of "well can't you see how unstable this situation has become? We need to step in".
