As the protest in Hong Kong entered its sixth week, the spotlight turned to Yuen Long, a suburb that’s closer to Shenzhen along the mainland Chinese border than the city’s central area.
Fights broke out in the Yuen Long metro station miles away from the main protests after groups of men in white shirts attacked passengers with sticks and umbrellas.
They targeted people dressed in black, the preferred colour of demonstrators.
Lam Cheuk-ting, a Democratic Party lawmaker, was among those injured. He posted pictures of a cut on his lower lip on his Facebook page, and spoke to reporters at Tuen Mun Hospital on Monday wearing bandages on his cheek and right arm.
Lam said he was targeted when as many as 30 attackers in white shirts assaulted passengers on the train.
