Over 90 people have been injured, and 61 arrested, following clashes in
Hong Kong's Mong Kok district, police say.
Violence erupted overnight as police cleared illegal food stalls set up
on a busy junction for Lunar New Year celebrations.
Angry protesters threw bricks and bottles at police, while police used
batons and pepper spray and fired two warning shots into the air.
Police said dozens of officers and four journalists were among those
hurt.
Nine women and 52 men have been arrested, all aged between 15 and 70.
They are suspected of offences including unlawful assembly, assaulting
police and possession of offensive weapons.
The rioters "threw bricks and other objects at police officers,
including those who had already been injured and were lying on the
ground"
The unlicensed food stalls were set up for the Lunar New Year holiday.
The underlying tensions go deeper. Many "localist" groups, who want
greater autonomy for Hong Kong, turned up to support the vendors,
arguing that Hong Kong's identity is under threat.
