Several protesters have escaped from a Hong Kong university campus surrounded by police by abseiling from a bridge and fleeing on the back of motorbikes.
Around 100 protesters who tried to leave the Polytechnic University were met with tear gas and rubber bullets. Some of the protesters were arrested. Authorities say that around 116 people were injured in violence on Monday.
China has warned that “no one should underestimate its will to safeguard its sovereignty and Hong Kong’s stability”, and its ambassador to the UK said the central government would not sit back and watch if the situation became “uncontrollable".
