Injuries in Chinese University of Hong Kong on Nov 12: Tear gas burnt holes in helmets and set backpack on fire
During the violent clashes at No. 2 Bridge of Chinese University on November 12, the police fired over 3000 rounds of tear gas, rubber and beanbag bullets, and deployed water cannon trucks to disperse the protestors.
Yet lots of students still remained at the bridge today (Nov 13) joined by some citizens. Mr. Chan, aged 23, said a lot of protestors were shot by the blue dye water cannon, by bullets, or scalded and burnt by tear gas canisters yesterday.
Since ambulances could not reach the university, they could only be treated at the sports ground on campus; some were brought to the hospital by good Samaritans. Student Chu, a fifth year student at CUHK, said the injured protestors mostly needed their eyes and wounds cleansed; some were hit by rubber bullets and were treated by Red Cross staff and doctors.
Chu said, the most serious case he saw was a protestor whose helmet has 4 holes burnt by tear gas canisters. The protestor was also injured by rubber bullets, bean bag bullets, and tear gas, and his backpack was also burnt. Fortunately, he had some gear to protect himself. Chu also said, a first aider was hit in the face by a tear gas round while treating others.
