Police have warned against "dissidents" and potential unrest as protesters prepare for two more demonstrations today, following last night's chaotic scenes in Kowloon.

The first march, in Tseung Kwan O, is expected to start around 1.30pm. The planned route is from Po Tsui Park to the Hong Kong Velodrome Park.

Meanwhile a second anti-extradition rally has been organised for Belcher Bay Park in Kennedy Town on Hong Kong Island.

Permission has only been given for the meeting to last from 5pm to 9pm.

Police said they are concerned about "the possible gathering of dissidents due to the nature of the event... which may lead to breach of peace or other unlawful activities".

On Saturday night police arrested more than 20 people on suspicion of illegal assembly, possession of weapons and assault during protests in Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok and Wong Tai Sin.
