epa07731753 A man is arrested by riot police while anti-extradition bill protesters take part in a rally at Sheung Wan in Hong Kong, China, 21 July 2019. The organizer of the march, the Civil Human Rights Front, is urging the government to set up an independent commission of inquiry to be led by a judge, to look into the policing of recent extradition protests. The Front originally planned to march from Victoria Park to the Court of Final Appeal in Central but the police said the march must end in Wan Chai instead for public safety reasons.

Dozens of masked men armed with batons stormed a train station in the Hong Kong district of Yuen Long.

The men, all in white T-shirts, violently attacked people on platforms and inside train carriages.

Forty-five people were injured, with one person in a critical condition.

The mob attack followed the latest pro-democracy rally in the centre of Hong Kong, where riot police had fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters.

It is unclear who the mob were, but they attacked passengers and people making their way back from the protest.
