Hong Kong residents clash with activists on street

HONG KONG (AP) - Pushing and yelling, hundreds of Hong Kong residents tried to force pro-democracy activists from the streets they were occupying today as tensions rose in the weeklong protests that have shut down parts of the city. The scuffles in Kowloon's crowded Mong Kok district, one of several areas where protesters have camped out, were the most chaotic since police used tear gas and pepper spray last weekend to try to disperse protesters pushing for greater electoral reforms for the territory.
