Hong Kong riot police charge protesters at rally hotspot
Anti-government protesters set up barricades and light fires in standoffs with officers
Riot police have charged at hundreds of protesters in a busy downtown district in Hong Kong after some demonstrators had started a fire outside a police station.
Earlier in the day, protests broke out in several areas of Hong Kong as security measures tightened at the airport in an attempt to stop protesters’ plans to paralyse the travel hub.
