Hong Kong protest: police fire rounds of teargas at protesters trying to leave campus – live
Chaotic scenes on outskirts of campus, as hundreds remain trapped inside
Basically one street over from where people are being tear gassed, lots of people have showed up for a rally to support the protesters at polyu. Everyone has plastic bags of supplies of food etc. pic.twitter.com/pi4JUj0Cen
In Tsim Sha Tsui, an area south of Hong Kong Polytechnic University, hundreds of protesters are facing off against riot police after having dug up bricks from the sidewalks and scattered them along the road. The longer the siege goes on at the university the more other places turn into flash points as protesters and their supporters rally and try to pull police resources away.
After riot police left, protesters are back on Chatham road pulling up bricks covering roads leading toward Polyu. pic.twitter.com/BlvKPwzHNn
