Hong Kong protests: Police storm Yuen Long station to disperse protesters | FULL

Hong Kong police faced off with raucous anti-government protesters on Wednesday after arriving to disperse the demonstrators who earlier gathered at Yuen Long MTR station for a silent sit-in to protest a suspected mob attack last month.

Some masked protesters clashed with police, spraying fire extinguishers from the inside of Yuen Long station as others smeared the floor with cooking oil to stop the police advancing. Others blocked exits and sealed roads outside the station, aiming laser beams at the shield-bearing officers.

It was the latest in a series of demonstrations, which have sometimes turned violent, since June against a perceived erosion of freedoms in the Chinese-ruled former British colony.
