Hong Kong police say over 157 arrested during weekend protests
Hong Kong police say they arrested 157 people over the previous three days of protests, bringing the total number of arrests to more than 1,300.
Activists started fires in the street and vandalized a Mass Transit Railway (MTR) station in the main business district of Central on Sunday after thousands rallied peacefully at the US consulate, calling for help in bringing democracy to the special administrative region.
"Over the weekend, as many as 40 traffic lights were damaged across the city and many MTR stations were left in ruins. Such random and rampant destruction of infrastructure seriously affect[s] the livelihood of ordinary citizens," Hong Kong police public relations chief Tse Chun-chung told media.
Three months of protests over a now withdrawn extradition bill have evolved into a broader backlash against the government and greater calls for democracy.
