A media liaison officer for the Hong Kong police was hit in the leg by an arrow and was taken to hospital for treatment. HK Protests

Police fired blue-dyed liquid from water cannon after several protesters fired arrows from rooftops at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University amid some of the most dramatic scenes in over five months of protests in the Chinese-ruled city.Police said a media liaison officer was hit in the leg by an arrow. He was taken to hospital for treatment.

Chinese soldiers dressed in shorts and T-shirts, some carrying red plastic buckets or brooms, emerged from their barracks on Saturday in a rare public appearance to help residents clear debris blocking key roads. Parts of the campus looked more like a fortress with barricades and black-clad protesters manning the ramparts with improvised weapons-like bricks, crates of fire bombs, and bows and arrows at the ready.

The presence of China's People's Liberation Army soldiers on the streets, even to help clean up, could stoke further controversy over Hong Kong's autonomous status at a time many fear Beijing is tightening its grip on the city.
