Hong Kong police sh t protester, man set on fire

Somewhere else, a guy was set on fire after a dispute that is apparent national identification into the semi-autonomous Chinese territory, that has been wracked by five months of protests. The man was at critical condition in a populous city medical center.

The physical violence is likely to further inflame passions in Hong Kong after a pupil whom fell during an earlier protest succumbed to their accidents Friday and authorities arrested six pro-democracy lawmakers over the week-end.

Monday's movie shows an officer sh ing away a small grouping of protesters at an intersection, then drawing his gun on a masked protester in a white h ded sweatshirt who draws near him.
