The situation in Hong Kong is rapidly deteriorating, with violence breaking out in seven locations Monday afternoon as the citywide strike continues.
Protesters threw a suspected gasoline bomb at police after first being attacked by bricks.
20:00 A suspected gasoline bomb was thrown by protesters to the police who were resting on Tai Po Tai Wo road near the crossroad with Nam Wan Rd. The police were attacked suddenly first by bricks from the protesters and then the bomb.
82 people were arrested for offences including rioting, unlawful assembly, assaulting a police officer, obstructing police and possession of offensive weapons.
Fighting broke out between protesters and local residents, while reports of 'white shirted' men believed to be triad gang members began beating protesters as the evening devolved.
