HONG Kong police arrested 80 people on Tuesday as scuffles broke out when demonstrators tried to block the authorities from clearing part of a pro-democracy protest site after nearly two months of rallies.
The arrests came as police tried to disperse a crowd of around 100 protesters who had refused to leave as workers tore down barricades across the street in the district of Mongkok, where tensions have been running high.
