HONG KONG -- Hong Kong's riot police officers entered the city's airport Tuesday evening and clashed with protesters after hundreds of flights were canceled for a second consecutive day, with the sit-ins paralyzing one of the world's busiest air transport hubs.
A video posted on Twitter shows a tense exchange in which an officer takes down a civilian, only to be swarmed by protesters, including a mask-wearing man who grabs the officer's club and starts to beat him with it. Cornered and fearing danger, the officer appears to draw a handgun and points it at the crowd, which then disperses.
