Hong Kong Protests: Live Stream Of Police Clearing Protesters Near Government Headquarters [LIVE STREAM]

RTR4A61M — A pro-democracy protester gestures to police as they retreat after confronting protesters near the government headquarters in Hong Kong Oct. 14, 2014. China's ruling Communist Party says it has offered enough concessions to Hong Kong in the past, and will give no ground to pro-democracy protests because it wants to avoid setting a precedent for reform on the mainland, sources told Reuters.

Hong Kong police began breaking down barriers and encampments set up by pro-democracy student protesters early Wednesday near a tunnel entrance close to government headquarters. Police are also seen leading protesters away in handcuffs.

The move comes as part of a citywide police effort to clear protesters from key areas. Hundreds of police moved in on protesters around Queensway Road, a central artery in Hong Kong. Protesters built barricades out of metal fencing, drainage covers and even bamboo.
