At least 45 people were injured, with one person in critical condition, after a group of masked men, many wielding sticks and metal bars, clad in white T-shirts, entered a Mass Transit Railway (MTR) station in rural Yuen Long district and attacked passengers, including on a train, according to footage taken by commuters and opposition lawmaker Lam Cheuk-ting.
Pro-democracy lawmakers held a press conference on Monday at which they accused the city's pro-Beijing leaders of turning a blind eye to the attack, according to media reports.
