HONG KONG—Pro-democracy lawmakers in Hong Kong heckled the city’s embattled leader and called for her to step down on Oct. 17 during a legislative session that was repeatedly suspended as several politicians were manhandled out of the chamber.

It was the second day of chaos in Hong Kong’s Legislative Council as leader Carrie Lam tried to answer questions about her annual policy address, which she was forced to deliver by video link on Wednesday after similar disruption in the assembly.
