HONG KONG CITY - A group of hardcore protesters threw petrol bombs at a police station as violence flared in Hong Kong during a banned march that drew tens of thousands.
Authorities refused permission for a march through an upmarket shopping area, citing public order concerns.
But large numbers defied authorities, with a small group of black-clad protesters attacking a police station.
Hong Kong has been convulsed by pro-democracy protests for four months.
The unrest in the territory, which is part of China but enjoys unique freedoms, has been the worst crisis since the British handover in 1997.
At the Tsim Sha Tsui police station, officers fired tear gas as the building's gate was set on fire. A water cannon was then deployed to clear the area, which would normally be thronged with Sunday shoppers.(FA)
