Arrests Made During Hong Kong Protests

HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong police say they arrested five people over violence involving pro-democracy protesters at the city’s international airport. Spokesman Mak Chin-ho says all of the men aged between 17 and 28 were arrested for illegal assembly. Two were also charged with assaulting a police officer and possessing offensive weapons. He says additional suspects are expected to be arrested, including some who assaulted an officer as riot police sought to clear the terminal, prompting him to draw his sidearm.
