Chinese military troops 'clean up' Hong Kong streets, in first 'deployment' since protests began

Full story:
Chinese army personnel have helped to clear debris made by protesters at Hong Kong Baptist University in Kowloon Tong.

The cleanup operation began at 1pm on Saturday as community groups moved bricks and barricades which had accumulated on Junction Road over the past week. According to District Councillor Ho Hin-ming, who helped to organise the effort, the group began to clear Renfield Road at around 4pm when – half an hour later – at least 50 personnel from the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) emerged from the nearby barrack with buckets and brooms to shift the remaining items.
