Hong Kong protesters trash Central train station, call on US to 'liberate' the territory

HONG KONG - Hong Kong police fired tear gas to disperse protesters in the upmarket Causeway Bay shopping district on Sunday (Sept 8) after demonstrators had rallied at the US Consulate calling for help in bringing democracy to the Chinese-ruled city.

Police moved on protesters from the Central business district who dispersed to nearby Admiralty, the bar district of Wan Chai and on to Causeway Bay in a now familiar pattern of cat-and-mouse clashes over three months of unrest.

Activists set up barricades, smashed windows, started street fires and vandalised the MTR metro station in Central, the smartest district of the former British colony.

Among the graffiti on the entrance walls were calls to "Liberate HK".

Central district, home to banks, jewellery shops and top-brand shopping arcades, was awash in graffiti, broken glass and bricks torn up from pathways.

Protesters set fires from cardboard boxes, building barricades with metal fencing.

"We can't leave because there are riot police," said protesters Oscar, 20, in Causeway Bay. "They fired tear gas from the station. We are heading to North Point."
