A reporter was hit in the head by a glass bottle apparent thrown from a building in Mong Kok as he was covering anti-government protests on Monday.

Broken bottles were spotted on the ground nearby Chun Yee building on Nathan Road.

Some protesters angered by the attack went into the building, saying they wanted to find who did it.

Later, a group of riot police arrived to investigate, but left after around 20 minutes without making any arrests.
