Flight check-in has been suspended at Hong Kong International Airport for a second consecutive day because of anti-government protests.
The airport, which is one of the world's busiest, has been the site of daily protests since Friday.
Videos on social media showed passengers struggling to get through demonstrators, who were sitting inside and blocking departures.
Amid tense scenes, police and protesters clashed outside the airport.
The police, wearing riot gear and brandishing truncheons, are said to have deployed pepper spray to push protesters back.

OH OH China is not amused
China describes Hong Kong protests as 'near terrorism'
China has condemned violence clashes in the Hong Kong protests as "behaviour that is close to terrorism" - in a sign of its rhetoric hardening.
After days of peaceful protests at Hong Kong International Airport, clashes with police broke out on Tuesday night.
Video showed an officer drawing his gun on protesters who beat him with his own truncheon during the disturbance.
It is the second time in a week that Chinese officials have publicly likened the protests to terrorist activity.
Some observers believe that the repeated use of such language suggests that China is losing patience with the protesters, and could increase the likelihood of an intervention from Beijing.
