Fiery clashes erupted across the city, with security chief John Lee cautioning "unthinkable" consequences if the violence continued.

On Tuesday night, hundreds of black-clad protesters tried to block riot police from entering the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) near Tai Po by hurling bricks and petrol bombs.
