Hong Kong police have fired tear gas at an unauthorized protest held by thousands of people to condemn an attack by armed masked men last week.

The demonstration took place where pro‑democracy protesters had been attacked by suspected gang members.

Police have been accused of turning a blind eye and colluding with the attackers, claims they deny.

Hong Kong has seen seven weeks of anti‑government and pro‑democracy protests sparked by a controversial bill that would have enabled extraditions to mainland China.

The government has since halted the legislation but protesters have demanded its complete withdrawal, as well as an inquiry into police violence and democratic reform.
