Two police officers were assaulted by rioters at the junction of Ferry Street and Jordan Road in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on Monday when they were on escort duty. Police had arranged an ambulance to take an arrested suspect who had a head injury to the hospital. Rioters surrounded the ambulance, and hurled rocks and bricks and splashed unknown liquid at the officers. They also helped the arrested person escape. One police officer, who felt that his life was threatened, fired three shots from his service firearm. Initial inquiry shows that the shots did not hit anyone.
