HONG KONG—Hong Kong office workers and high-school students turned out in their hundreds under a sweltering midday sun on Oct. 2 to denounce a policeman for shooting and wounding a teenager during the most violent clashes in nearly four months of unrest.

The office workers marched to Chater Garden in the Central business district as the students, some in the same class as the wounded 18-year-old, demonstrated outside his New Territories school.
