There will be a"very serious violent attack," the chief superintendent of the police's public relations branch, Tse Chun-chung, told a news conference on Monday."We are on the verge of extreme danger."
A huge clean-up was under way on Monday after roads, shops and buildings across the financial centre were daubed in graffiti, windows in government buildings smashed and parts of pavements uprooted by protesters during the weekend's unrest. It was not clear whether Lam was summoned to Beijing due to the escalation in the violence on the weekend. The government said Chief Secretary for Administration Matthew Cheung Kin-chung would stand in for her at the anniversary ceremony.
The latest clashes began in mid-afternoon on Sunday and went on late into the night, as thousands of masked protesters roamed the streets, facing off against riot police amid plumes of tear gas and raging fires. Police said an officer fired a warning shot after they were"surrounded and attacked by a large group of violent protesters" on Sunday.
