For the second day this weekend an industrial neighbourhood in Hong Kong became a battleground. Parts of Tsuen Wan are known for triad gangs so tensions were high to begin with.
But as a thick fog of tear gas engulfed a major street, it became clear that The Brief peaceful lull Hong Kong had enjoyed last week was well and truly gone.
The hardline group of protesters came ready-armed with bricks, petrol bombs and metal rods. And the moderate protesters egged them on from the sidelines, shouting "corrupt Police " and calling them "piles of rubbish".
Ordinary residents and spectators were red-eyed from the tear gas and hunching low as they crossed the overhead bridges. This weekend has been a return to the familiar scenes between The Police and protesters, but with what seems like a new level of determination from the protesters.
Why are there protests in Hong Kong ?They were sparked by a now-suspended extradition bill that would have allowed Hong Kong to send criminal suspects to China for trial, but they have grown into a broader movement calling for democratic reform in The Territory and an investigation into alleged Police Brutality against protesters.
On 18 August, about 1. 7 million people attended a pro-democracy rally in central Hong Kong , according to organisers. Police put the figure much lower, at 128,000, counting only those at an officially sanctioned rally in The City 's Victoria Park .
