Police officers use pepper spray to stop the pro-democracy protesters breaking the glass window of the Legislative Council in Hong Kong early Wednesday (11/19). Backed by a court order, workers removed some barricades Tuesday from a Hong Kong pro-democracy protest site where activists have camped out for nearly two months in a standoff with authorities. AP

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Police in Hong Kong say more than 80 people have been arrested overnight in clashes with pro-democracy protesters, BBC News reported.

The unrest came as the authorities, acting on a court order, began dismantling a protest camp in the Mong Kok commercial district.

The removal began peacefully on Tuesday but spiralled into violence overnight as protester numbers swelled.

Protesters fought running battles on the streets around Nathan Road, with police using batons and pepper spray.

Police say a total of 116 people have now been arrested since Tuesday, for offences including assaulting police, possessing offensive weapons and obstructing offices.

Further clearance operations are expected to take place on Wednesday.

The activists have been on the streets since early October, demanding a free choice of leader in the 2017 election.
