Renewed scuffles in Hong Kong
ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION
Pro-democracy protesters and their opponents briefly scuffled and argued over barricades set up in the busy Mong Kok area on Saturday (October 4).
The protesters shouted as people attempted to pull barricades away outside a subway station in Mong Kok, where notorious Triads operate bars, night-clubs and massage parlours.
One of the onlookers, a 56-year-old security guard surnamed Chan, told reporters that he wanted the organisers of Occupy Central captured but denied any links to the triads.
The police presence was thin and some tried to separate people who were arguing. No arrests had been announced as of 3:00pm local time (0700GMT)
The protests have been largely peaceful since police last Sunday (September 28) fired tear gas at crowds demanding Beijing reverse its decision not to give Hong Kong the unfettered right to choose its own leader.
