On Nov 17, rioters set fire on a pedestrian flyover at Hung Hom, causing multiple explosions loud enough to be heard from a block away. They threw firebombs that set an armored police vehicle on fire. In a statement, the police said that the rioters threw tens of gasoline bombs at the police within just half an hour.
On Nov 17 in Hung Hom, rioters attacked police officers with lethal weapons fired from their stronghold in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. They rampantly hurled petrol bombs at pedestrian flyovers at Cross Harbour Tunnel to fend off the police, causing a wall of fire and multiple explosions.
The violence in Hong Kong has escalated since June. Political leaders and people from all walks of life have constantly called for an end to the violence and chaos in Hong Kong.
Last Friday marked the fourth day CUHK was under siege, John Tse Chun-chung, chief superintendent of Police Public Relations Branch in Hong Kong, said. "The school has become a breeding ground for criminals and rioters," he added.
Despite the escalation of violence, many residents came forward to clear road barricades and mourned a cleaner killed by rioters in a bid to say "no" to violence.
Officers and other personnel from the People's Liberation Army's Hong Kong Garrison, dressed in civilian clothes, help clear a road outside the Kowloon East Barracks on Nov 16, 2019. Their operation won the applause of pedestrians. During protracted violent protests, rioters erected roadblocks across the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
On Nov 17, rioters blocked the roads near the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and hurled patrol bombs on the roads, posing a serious threat to public security. The rioters even used bows, bricks and arrows to indiscriminately attack police and journalists. A policeman was shot in the leg with an arrow.
A group of local residents volunteered on Saturday to clear roadblocks erected by radical protesters on Pok Fu Lam Road outside the University of Hong Kong. A mob of masked radicals, however, jeered and attacked the volunteers with firebombs. The road was eventually reopened for traffic despite the threat of violence.

Radical students in Hong Kong were busy making gasoline bombs, catapults and bamboo arrows on university campuses, which the city's police said on Wednesday were being turned into weapons factories.
