A journalist covering demonstrations in Hong Kong was recovering Monday after being hit by a Molotov cocktail, which disturbing video shows left part of his head in flames.
The man, on assignment for Hong Kong’s public broadcaster, is seen trying to put out the fire that engulfed his head and neck during the incident Sunday.
The journalist was hospitalized with burns on a “small part of his face,” a spokeswoman for Radio Television Hong Kong, the territory’s public broadcaster, told Reuters.
“Now he is fine,” she said, declining to give the journalist’s name, but confirming that he was from Hong Kong.
