(13 Aug 2019) Police in Hong Kong had to leave the airport on Tuesday as protesters threw things at them.
A police representative made an announcement saying that their aim was to help a injured person inside the airport.
But their announcement was met by angry protesters pointing lasers and throwing water bottles at them.
The police had to retreat and left the airport departure hall in a van.
Pro-democracy demonstrators severely crippled operations at Hong Kong's international airport for a second day, forcing authorities to cancel all remaining flights.
After a brief period early in the day when flights were able to take off and land, the airport authority suspended check-in services for departing flights as of 4:30 p.m.
Departing flights that had completed the process would continue to operate.
The city's pro-Beijing leader Carrie Lam warned that the protesters had pushed events onto a "path of no return."
