A Hong Kong cop shot a protester in the chest with a live round Tuesday after demonstrators attacked his unit during clashes that coincided with a celebration by the territory’s Chinese rulers of the 70th anniversary of the People’s Republic.
“An officer discharged his firearm after coming under attack and a protester was struck in the chest in Tsuen Wan district today,” a police source told Agence France-Presse on condition of anonymity.
The stricken protester received first aid from police before paramedics arrived, the source said, adding that the victim was rushed to Princess Margaret Hospital.
A Hospital Authority spokeswoman told AFP that 15 people had been admitted to hospitals following Tuesday’s clashes, one of whom was in critical condition at Princess Margaret.
