HONG KONG - Five Hong Kong teenagers have been arrested in connection with the death of a man hit on the head by a brick during clashes between pro- and anti-government protesters last month, police said on Saturday .
The incident occurred in mid-November as the pro-democracy movement was in its fifth month, with hardcore demonstrators engaged in a"blossom everywhere" campaign across the city to stretch police resources. Mr Alex Chow, a 22-year-old university student, died on Nov 8 from head injuries sustained during a fall in a multi-storey carpark while police and protesters were clashing.Allegations of police brutality are one of the movement's rallying cries.
Mr Chow's death was followed three days later by police shooting an unarmed 21-year-old protester in the abdomen, sparking days of unrest that culminated in pitched battles on university campuses.
