Police storm mall and Hong Kong protesters turn violent once again
[DAWN] Protesters in Hong Kong trampled a Chinese flag, vandalised a subway station and set a fire across a wide street on Sunday, as pro-democracy demonstrations took a violent turn once again.

The rail station was closed to passengers after protesters smashed it. Meanwhile, police stormed into a shopping mall in Shatin and fired tear gas in the district's New Territories town to disperse the anti-government protesters who had trashed fittings at the railway station.

The day's activities started peacefully as young protesters, many wearing masks to disguise their identity, filled the open area of a Hong Kong shopping mall and folded paper “origami” cranes in the latest twist in a pro-democracy movement that has stretched into a fourth month.

They chanted slogans and sang a song that has become their anthem, backed by a small group playing on woodwind and brass instruments through their masks. Many lined the balustrades of the three higher floors overlooking where others gathered in the wide space below.

Some put a Chinese flag on the floor and took turns running over it, before defacing it and putting it in a dumpster outside, which they then pushed into a nearby river.
