VIDEO: Vicious Escalation in Hong Kong

Hong Kong protesters

Protests have raged in Hong Kong against a controversial extradition bill, which would allow suspects to be sent to mainland China for trial.

On June 9, more than a million people marched against the bill, which they fear will allow China to encroach on rights in the territory.

The protests have continued but now, as can be seen below, masked thugs have emerged on the scene attacking the protesters.
