Hong Kong: Commuters in Hong Kong argued on Tuesday with demonstrators who blocked subway train doors in their latest protest to demand greater accountability from the semi-autonomous Chinese territory's government.

Service was delayed and partially suspended on the Island and Kwun Tong lines, subway operator MTR said. It cited "a number of train door obstructions" as well as someone activating a safety device at a platform on the Kwun Tong line. The action targeted rush hour traffic at several stations. Mass Transit Railway (MTR) responded by providing minibuses and normal service was restored by around noon.
