Armed with bows and arrows, radicals clash with the police
Hong Kong has just witnessed its most chaotic week since protests broke out in June over the now-withdrawn extradition bill. Violent clashes and acts of vandalism have left the city paralyzed.
Thousands of black-clad radicals used the campuses of some universities as their "strongholds", while arming themselves with deadly weapons, including gasoline bombs, bows and arrows, and giant slingshots.
During the clashes, a police officer was injured after being shot in the calf by an arrow fired by rioters. Another officer had a close shave when a frenzied driver tried to knock him down.
