Protesters have forced their way into Hong Kong’s legislature, and are engaged in a standoff with police inside.
Dozens of demonstrators broke through the glass of the Legislative Council (LegCo) building, while a large crowd observed the violence from outside.
Police held signs warning they would use force if protesters charged, but have yet to move against the crowd.
The violence is a breakaway part of a peaceful protest involving thousands.
Pro-democracy demonstrators had taken to the streets on the anniversary of the city’s handover from UK to Chinese rule.
Police used pepper spray and batons to contain crowds during earlier clashes.
This is the latest in a series of protests against a controversial bill that would allow extraditions to mainland China.
The government has agreed to suspend it indefinitely, but rallies continue amid calls for Chief Executive Carrie Lam to resign.
