Nine people were on Wednesday found guilty of rioting during the Mong Kok unrest two years ago.
The District Court adjourned sentencing by three weeks, pending a variety of reports on them.
All the guilty were remanded in custody.
Two of the accused were under 21 at the time of their offences, so the judge asked for training and detention centre reports on them.
As for a person who pleaded guilty to rioting earlier in the same case, the judge asked for a community service report on him.
The maximum sentence for rioting is 10 years imprisonment.
The clashes during the Lunar New Year holiday of 2016 erupted after a dispute over the clearance of food vendors. A standoff that ensued led to pitched street battles that saw mobs attack police officers with bricks and sticks.
