NSTworld: Hong Kong protesters shot bows and arrows and hurled petrol bombs from a barricaded university on Sunday and police fired volleys of tear gas and blue liquid from water cannon as unrest spread across the Kowloon peninsula. HongKongProstest
Several protesters fired arrows from rooftops at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University amid some of the most dramatic scenes in over five months of anti-government demonstrations in the Chinese-ruled city.
Protesters sprayed with the blue liquid stripped down to their underwear and hosed one another down to wash it off, not knowing what it contained. Later, protesters on campus called for “fire magicians” to make Molotov cocktails, and people came running to help. In the university courtyard, civil engineer Joris, 23, said those shooting arrows were protecting themselves.
The campus is the last of five universities to remain occupied, with activists using it as a base to block the Cross-Harbour tunnel.
