At least two officers were seen with bloody head wounds.

Trouble flared when police ordered the gathering to disperse from the city's commercial district, with protesters gathering behind shields of umbrellas.

Brief cat and mouse clashes ensued with police making multiple arrests, including one protester who had blood streaming from the back of his head. It soon morphed into a wider movement calling for greater freedoms in what is the most concerted challenge to Beijing's rule since the former colony's 1997 handover.
