HONG KONG—Hong Kong police fired tear gas to try to break up brick-throwing protesters who marched in pouring rain on Aug. 25, after violent clashes a day earlier prompted police to fire tear gas for the first time in more than a week.

The Chinese-ruled city’s MTR rail operator suspended some services to try to prevent people gathering but protesters made it to a sports stadium in the vast container port of Kwai Chung, from where they marched to nearby Tsuen Wan.
