Police Make Arrests As Flashmob Protests Erupt In Hong Kong Officers charged into a mall in Tai Po district where protesters had tagged a number of businesses with slogans with at least two arrests made.
Protesters walk on a street after setting up a barricade in the Mongkok district in Hong Kong on October 13, 2019. DALE DE LA REY / AFPHong Kong riot police spent much of Sunday afternoon skirmishing with small groups of masked pro-democracy protesters who held flashmob gatherings in multiple locations — although crowds were smaller and less violent than recent weekends.
In Tai Po district, officers charged into a mall where protesters had tagged a number of businesses with slogans with at least two arrests made. The wave of protests in the international finance hub was sparked by opposition to a now-scrapped proposal to allow extraditions to mainland China but has since morphed into a larger movement for democracy and police accountability.
The beginning of October saw a particularly fierce period of unrest with protesters upping their violence as Communist China celebrated its 70th birthday party.
