HONG KONG—Scores of people were injured in Hong Kong during a chaotic weekend of anti-government protests, authorities said on Nov. 4, as China called for a tougher stance to end months of unrest in the Asian financial hub.

Riot police stormed several shopping malls packed with families and children on Sunday, following one of the worst days of violence in weeks as police fired tear gas, rubber bullets and a water cannon at crowds of black-clad demonstrators across the island on Saturday.
