A protester gestures in front of a riot police cordon during a confrontation on Portland Street at Mongkok shopping district in Hong Kong November 25, 2014.


Police began cutting away cords binding metal barricades to clear part of Nathan Road, at the heart of the protest site in the gritty Mong Kok district, and started dismantling marquees and tents used by the protesters along the road.


Hundreds of protesters remained, but were pushed back by a large numbers of police officers. Several protesters who resisted were hauled away, witnesses said.
