		</div><p>Hong Kong police have arrested seven people over scuffles that broke out in the city’s legislature during a face-off between pro-democracy and pro-Beijing legislators earlier this year.</p>
<p>Those arrested include current and former opposition legislators, according to their political parties and media reports.</p>
<p>A police statement said that six men and one woman had been detained on suspicion of contempt and interfering with legislative members. It did not name them.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The statement said the arrests are part of an investigation into a May 8 committee meeting in which pro-democracy legislators rushed toward the chairperson’s seat and security guards shoved back.</p>
<p>The guards carried out several pro-democracy legislators, including Eddie Chu and Ray Chan, after they had been ordered to leave for disorderly conduct. Both stepped down on September 30.</p>
<p>Mr Chan said on Twitter that he was arrested at 7am on Sunday, and Hong Kong media said that Mr Chu had also been arrested.</p>
<p>The Democratic Party said on its Facebook page that three of its legislative members had been arrested including party chairman Wu Chi-wai.</p>
<p>The May 8 incident was the first in a series of scuffles over a bill approved in June that made it illegal to insult the Chinese national anthem.</p>
