Review | OCCUPY CENTRAL - DAY 16: Full coverage of the day’s events
Chaotic scenes unfolded in Admiralty when a group of masked men removed barricades in Queensway and Cotton Tree Drive as dozens of anti-Occupy protesters gathered in the area.
Good evening and welcome to our ongoing coverage of Hong Kong's Occupy movement.
Chaotic scenes unfolded in Admiralty on Monday when a mob of masked men, who appeared to be working in tandem with taxi drivers and truck drivers, removed barricades in Queensway and Cotton Tree Drive as dozens of anti-Occupy protesters gathered in the area. Scuffles broke out when some of the masked men cut the plastic cable ties connecting barriers on Queensway and confronted Occupy protesters.
The clashes came just hours after police in Admiralty and Mong Kok launched an operation to remove barricades and open a number of occupied roads to traffic.
