It’s been months now since protests in Hong Kong erupted. Thousands have been injured whereas the city is facing huge economic loss and investors are pulling out business from the key sectors. The life of the citizens has been disrupted and people have to bear the loss and damage occurred to their assets during the protests.
The law enforcement agencies in Hong Kong fired rubber bullets and tear gas on Monday to pin back frantic anti-government protesters fleeing a university where hundreds were holed up with petrol bombs and other homemade weapons amid fears of a bloody crackdown.
According to Reuters, dozens, choking on the tear gas, tried to escape again and again from the Polytechnic University after a night of mayhem in the Chinese-ruled city in which roads were blocked and a bridge was set on fire and a police officer was shot by a bow and arrow.
A lot of protesters dressed in regular clothes and without gas masks, made runs for it, dodging tear gas canisters and sponge grenades, only to be forced back inside.
It was reported that few people were arrested, tackled to the ground, as others scrambled and tripped over barricades and fences as police pointed guns at them and threw punches. Some were pulled back into the campus by other protesters.
