Chaos on Hong Kong roads continues for 3rd consecutive day

In Hong Kong, chaos on city
roads continued for the third
consecutive day today as
agitators continued their
strike, obstructing roads and
fighting battles with police.

Police lobbed teargas and
rubber shells to contain
protesters who ignited fire
and petrol bombs at the
Chinese University of Hong
Kong. The protesters were
building barricades on
several major roads to cripple
traffic, tossing bricks and
other obstacles to disrupt
traffic movement.

The clashes followed an
incident on Monday when
police shot a protester and a
man was set on fire. Hong
Kong is witnessing 24
straight weeks of increasingly
violent rallies, aimed at
securing greater democratic
freedoms from China
