Hong Kong police have fired teargas after some demonstrators vandalised a police station amid further pro-
democracy protests in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.
The scenes, which also saw a Chinese national flag removed from its pole and thrown into Victoria
Harbour, were all too familiar following nearly two months of action by citizens furious at the perceived
creeping influence of Beijing over the former British colony.
