Public outrage is mounting after an apparent failure by Hong Kong police to respond to a violent attack at a local train station, which resulted in at least 45 injuries.
On the evening of July 21, following a peaceful protest in which 430,000 people took to the streets to demand the withdrawal of a controversial extradition bill, a group of men in white t-shirts, some wielding poles, rushed into the Yuen Long metro station and began attacking passengers, according to footage taken by Democratic party lawmaker Lam Cheuk-ting, who was at the scene.
