Hong Kong Police fired streams of indelible dye from water cannons in response to petrol bombs, bricks and raging fires as running street battles with anti-government protesters spread across the city again on Saturday.
The water cannons fired the dye for the first time, with the bright blue pigment meant to help track down the hundreds of black-clad protesters in Admiralty who used metal bars to smash the gate of the Legislative Council building and blocked Harcourt Road.
