Hundreds of riot police armed with batons, shields and tear gas have clashed with protesters in Hong Kong.

The violence took place as an estimated 1 million protesters marched through Hong Kong on Sunday to voice their opposition to government-sponsored legislation that would allow people to be extradited to mainland China to face charges.

The massive demonstration took place three days before the semi-autonomous Chinese territory’s government plans to bring the highly contentious bill to the full legislature, bypassing the committee process, in a bid to win approval by the end of the month.

Violence flared soon after midnight as police moved to clear groups of protesters who had vowed to stay overnight outside parliament.

Demonstrators hurled bottles and built barricades as police moved in moments after the protest permit expired.

Officers used pepper spray hoses to push the crowds back, who shouted “We have a right to protest!”

Police and protesters were injured in the clashes, with ambulances called to assist those hurt.
