Black-clad protesters flooded the arrivals hall of Hong Kong’s international airport today, following a night of unprecedented police violence that left the inside of several subway stations clouded with tear gas and multiple demonstrators seriously injured.
Sunday night marked a shocking escalation as a young woman believed to be a volunteer medic was reportedly blinded in one eye after being hit with a projectile. Elsewhere in the city, police were captured on video apparently firing crowd control weapons toward protesters at point-blank range in enclosed spaces. Officers were also seen chasing people down moving escalators while swinging batons.
