Protesters are being met with resistance from within their own ranks as they try to break into the government building in Admiralty.

Video shows some protesters pushing a metal cart towards the building’s glass walls — only for the cart to be pushed back by pro-democracy legislators trying to calm the situation down.

The result: a push-and-pull in a tightly packed, angry crowd.

The politicians include Democratic Party lawmakers Lam Cheuk-ting, Hui Chi-fung, Roy Kwong Chun-yu and HK First’s Claudia Mo.

Meanwhile, police officers — armed and holding shields — stand on the other side of the glass inside the Legislative Council. They hold a red banner that reads: “Stop charging or we use force.”
