The protesters were hemmed in by police
We were hemmed in by traffic on all sides
The village is hemmed in by steep hills
The enemy troops were hemmed in on three sides
The narrow street felt like it was hemmed in
They felt hemmed in by their responsibilities
The small boat was hemmed in by ice floes
The refugees were hemmed in at the border
The company found itself hemmed in by new regulations
She felt hemmed in by the expectations of her family
These buildings really hem in our view.
I agree, there is no open space here.
We need more room to breathe.
The protesters found themselves hemmed in by police
Police surrounded the protesters
The crowd was cornered by authorities
