Chaos in Hong Kong chamber over violent attack on activist

Carrie Lam abandons chamber again after lawmakers decry assault on protest leader

The Hong Kong leader, Carrie Lam, has again been forced from the legislative chamber because of protests by opposition members after a violent attack on a leader of the nearly five-month-old protest movement.

Pro-democracy lawmakers shouted and waved placards depicting Lam with bloodied hands, prompting their removal by guards and the suspension of proceedings.
