Hong Kong police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to force back anti-government protesters trying to escape a garrisoned university, and detained several activists amid violent skirmishes
They said “toxic and dangerous chemicals” had been stolen from the university laboratory.
“We couldn’t move at all. The police didn’t stop ... they still used rubber bullet and sponge rounds to attack us. We’re talking about a distance of one metre.” Police said a car tried to hit an officer in the nearby Yau Ma Tei district on Sunday night, reversing and trying again. Police fired a shot and the driver fled.
Demonstrators are angry at what they see as Chinese meddling in Hong Kong’s promised freedoms when the then British colony returned to Chinese rule in 1997. They say they are responding to excessive use of force by police. “If you are viewing the facts with an impartial view you can see that what is happening in Hong Kong is no longer a simple demonstration, it is a handful of violent criminals conducting violence against civilians,” ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told a briefing.
