HK senior hit, killed by brick mourned

Some 30 residents in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on Friday mourned the death of a man, 70, who was struck by a brick that was thrown two days earlier, as violent protests continued to disrupt traffic and cause damage in the city.

A number of other people have been injured, some seriously - including a man who was recently set afire by radical protesters and remains hospitalized - since violent clashes and social unrest erupted in the city beginning in June.

On Friday afternoon, a public memorial ceremony was held in Sheung Shui for people to send their condolences for the passing of the elderly cleaner, who died in a hospital on Thursday night.
