- Story Text: Hong Kong protesters on Sunday (September 29) attacked a man who they said to be a pro-Beijing supporter after another series of violence clashes hit the Chinese-ruled city.
The man, whose identity is not confirmed, was confronted by handful of black-clad protesters and kicked to the ground before being pulled away from the crowd.
Running battles in the Causeway Bay shopping district, Wan Chai bar area and the Admiralty district of central government offices followed a night of showdowns with police in the Chinese-ruled city after a peaceful pro-democracy rally turned ugly on the streets nearby.
More protests are planned in the run-up to China's October 1 National Day, marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic.
