HSBC Holdings Plc sealed off access to the plaza of its Asian headquarters after court bailiffs evicted Occupy Central protesters, ending the last major holdout of the global anti-capitalist movement.

The bailiffs carried out the dozen protesters and removed tents, couches and tables. Security guards pulled down metal grills, typically only lowered during typhoons, closing the pedestrian thoroughfare.
