Police across Hong Kong clash with protesters

(4 Oct 2019) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 4233220, 4233232 Violence erupted across Hong Kong as defiant masked protesters rampaged and police fired tear gas Friday, hours after the city's embattled leader invoked rarely used emergency powers to ban masks at rallies in a hardening of her stance. Hong Kong riot police fired tear gas in the Wong Tai Sin area and protesters retaliated with a Molotov cocktail. Cars had to stop in the middle of Lung Cheung Road, a main transport link in the area, as protesters and the police stood on both sides of the road. Police warned protesters that they were going to fire rubber bullets and tear gas and demanded that they surrender. Pockets of angry protesters vanadalized shops that had Chinese investors. The mask ban followed widespread violence in the city on Tuesday that marred China's National Day and included a police officer shooting a protester, the first victim of gunfire since the protests started in June over a now-shelved extradition bill. The wounded teenager was charged with attacking police and rioting. The movement has snowballed into an anti-China campaign amid anger over what many view as Beijing's interference in Hong Kong's autonomy. More than 2,100 people have been detained so far, including 204 charged with rioting, which carries a penalty of up to a decade in prison.
