HONG KONG: Hong Kong police on Monday said a man was set alight following a heated argument with pro-democracy protesters during a day of widespread clashes across the city, as videos of the brutal attack went viral online. Three videos were posted on messaging channels used by protesters showing a man in a green T-shirt arguing with people on a footbridge. It came during a tense day in Hong Kong, which has been engulfed for more than five months by increasingly violent pro-democracy protests.
