Protester is shot in chest as officer struggles with another demonstrator during unrest

Hong Kong police shot at least one protester on Monday during rush hour as anti-government demonstrators blocked roads and called for a day of strikes, following clashes at the weekend.

In video captured by local media, a police officer who was struggling to subdue a protester fired three live rounds at demonstrators in Sai Wan Ho. One demonstrator, shot at point-blank range in the chest, fell to the ground.
