A Hong Kong police officer fired a warning shot on Friday in a clash with demonstrators as activists vandalized shops and petrol-bombed a police station in response to the death of a student during a protest this week.
Protesters set up barricades across roads in several districts, hurled hard objects at police officers and damaged shops and public utilities on Friday, police said in a statement. Some threw petrol bombs toward Tin Shui Wai Police Station, according to the statement.
