Hong Kong police have arrested 269 protesters, fired 900 rubber bullets, 1,400 cans of tear gas and six live rounds on during the demonstrations for China’s National Day.
This included the shooting of an 18-year-old protester who is under arrest on suspicion of assaulting a police officer. They are now in a stable condition after receiving surgery.
Hong Kong’s Deputy Commissioner of Police Tang Ping-Keung pushed back against criticism of the officers’ actions, saying they were “undoubtedly lawful and reasonable.”
