Others said they would be striking for the full five days. Even white-collar professionals, like those in Chater Park, have sometimes blocked roads in recent weeks, leading to face-offs with police.

Police on Sunday used tear gas after protesters threw bricks and glass bottles, and ignored warnings, Kwok Ka-chuen, a senior police official, told a news conference.
