Young protesters in Hong Kong clad in black barricaded the police inside the offices of chief executive Carrie Lam on Monday (July 1).

Video shows police retreating behind a fence into the government building before protesters arrive, dragging a heavy object to block the exit.

Protesters are also seen running supplies to each other.

The protests coincided with the 22nd anniversary of the former British colony’s handover to China.
