Police fire pepper-based solution in renewed clashes with Hong Kong extradition bill protesters
Familiar sight at government grounds in Admiralty three days after historic march against legislation turned ugly
Protests against the controversial extradition bill brought parts of Hong Kong to a standstill on Wednesday.
Thousands of people gathered outside the government headquarters in Admiralty, blocking major roads including Harcourt Road and Lung Wo Road.
Many of the protesters had taken the day off work and wore goggles and masks to protect themselves from potentially being sprayed by pepper-based solutions.
