Catapults, Bombs and Arrows: Hong Kong Protestors Fight Back as Crackdown Escalates – CBN

Hong Kong police have been engaged in running battles with hundreds of pro-democracy protesters trapped at the city’s Polytechnic University today. As a ring of police tightened around them, protestors were fighting with everything they have. Now Communist Chinese troops from the mainland have arrived on the scene, and the crackdown could be about to get much worse.

Protestors have used catapults against riot police in armored vehicles, setting at least one armored car on fire with a Molotov cocktail. One police official was hit in the leg with an arrow in some of the worst fighting since the protests began.

For days, protesters had barricaded the campus to keep police from getting in. Now, cornered by authorities, they’re trying to get out.
