A young man from Hong Kong was seen giving a water cannon truck the middle finger during a national security law protest on July 1.
Footage shows the man stood in the middle of the street where he gives the sweary gesture to the operators of the riot-deterrent vehicle.
The vehicle stops and the driver threatens to get out of the vehicle when the young man runs away.
The filmer described the man as "a brave guy" online.
They later told Newsflare: "Protests swept through the city, police deployed water cannons to end the protest.
"In the video, a young man gives the water cannon the middle finger."
Part of the national security law sees subversion to the Central Government punishable with life imprisonment.
