Protests continue after a man was shot and another set on fire yesterday in some of worst violence during the demonstrations.

Hong Kong riot police fired tear gas at a university campus today, a day after a protester was shot and a man set on fire in some of the worst violence to rock the Chinese-ruled city in more than five months of anti-government demonstrations.

Riot police were deployed at metro stations across the territory and large queues were forming at railway platforms as commuters made their way to work. More than 260 people were arrested yesterday, police said, bringing the total number to more than 3,000 since the protests escalated in June. A water cannon truck was stationed outside government headquarters, where the city’s Executive Council was due to hold its weekly meeting.
