AP, HONG KONGPolice and protesters yesterday battled outside university campuses and several thousand demonstrators blocked roads as they took over a central business district at lunchtime in another day of protest in Hong Kong. The clashes followed an especially violent day in Hong Kong’s five months of anti-government demonstrations, in which police shot one protester and a man was set on fire. Police used tear gas in face-offs with protesters in and around universities, where classes were canceled. Office workers filled the sidewalks and overhead walkways to watch the action, with some joining the protesters in chanting. Both remained hospitalized yesterday, the shot protester in serious condition and the man who was burned in critical condition, the Hong Kong Hospital Authority said.
