The footage showed that the scene was calm until about 6.43pm when people could be seen running towards the tollgate from the Oriental Hotel end.

Two minutes later, at 6.45pm, vehicles, with flashing headlights, presumably Army  vehicles reportedly arrived on the scene. There were no fewer than seven of them.

At 6.53pm, about 10 minutes after the arrival of the Army vehicles, the tollgate went into a blackout.

Two minutes later, at 6.55pm, one of the presumed Army vehicles drove through the tollgate to the other end where the crowd of protesters was gathered.
