A group of about 100 defiant protesters remain in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University after more than two days of clashes with police. More here:
HONG KONG - Anti-government protesters holed up in a Hong Kong university were frantically searching for escape routes on Tuesday after more than two days of clashes with police and dramatic breakouts by rope and motorcycle.
Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said she hoped the standoff could be resolved and she had told police to handle it humanely. Six protesters, led by a male in full black body armour wielding a hammer, probed one of the exits on Tuesday, before deciding there were too many police around. The university is the last of five that protesters occupied to use as bases from which to disrupt the city, blocking the Cross-Harbour Tunnel outside and other main roads.
