Hong Kong was left in shock after a night of violence on Sunday 21st July, which saw dozens of masked men storm a train station.
The men – dressed in white shirts and suspected to be triad gangsters – assaulted pro-democracy protesters and passers-by in the Yuen Long area.
This was the first time that violence was reported in the 2019 anti-extradition demonstrations.
Footage posted on social media showed dozens of men attacking people with wooden rods and metal sticks inside the station.
Forty-five people were injured, with one person in critical condition.
