Hong Kong officers clear portion of street

Crowd numbers swell as classes end; a leader vows to make removal difficult

A thorough fare in Kowloon was reopened, at least partially, to traffic on Tuesday as court bailiffs and police officers dismantled barricades and tents at an intersection in the Mong Kok neighborhood.

Bailiffs started clearing the intersection of Argyle Street and Nathan Road shortly after 10am, and reopened the major east-west thoroughfare of Argyle Street to traffic around 4 pm after nearly 60 days of occupation by protesters.
