Hong Kong police fire tear gas after protesters defy ban on march.

For the protesters, it was a show of defiance against the white-clad assailants who beat dozens of people last Sunday night, including some demonstrators heading home after the latest mass protest in the summer-long pro-democracy movement. Police said some of the attackers at the train station were connected to triad gangs and others were villagers who live in the area.

"Hong Kong police know the law and break the law," protesters chanted as they made their way through the streets.Less than three hours after the start of the march, police fired tear gas to try to disperse the crowd. The statement said that some protesters were"holding iron poles, self-made shields and even removing fences from roads," and that some had surrounded and vandalized a police vehicle with officers inside.

"Police appeal to members of the public to stay calm and leave the area as soon as possible as a chaotic scene may ensue within a short period of time," the earlier statement said.
