Hong Kong police fire tear gas at protesters in shopping district
HONG KONG, Sept 29, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong police fired tear gas at
protesters in a busy shopping district on Sunday after angry crowds
surrounded and heckled officers who had made a series of arrests.
The brief clash in Causeway Bay was the second day in a row that violence
has broken out as democracy campaigners step up their rallies ahead of the
70th anniversary of communist China’s founding on Tuesday.
