Published on August 12, 2019, Hong Kong is in the midst of its 10th week of mass demonstrations and unrest.
Police fired tear gas across the city on Sunday night, including into an enclosed railway station in the Wan Chai district.
Protesters responded by throwing petrol bombs and bricks at riot police, who charged at them with batons.
At least one police officer and several protesters were injured in the clashes.
Police were also filmed firing rubber bullets at close range inside a subway station, while other officers were seen beating people with batons on an escalator.
The demonstrations, sparked by a controversial extradition bill, have shown no signs of abating, with both sides hardening their stance.
Although the government has suspended the bill, protesters are demanding its full withdrawal, as well as an independent inquiry into alleged police brutality and the resignation of Hong Kong's leader Carrie Lam.
On Sunday afternoon, a peaceful rally in Victoria Park sparked clashes when protesters moved out of the area and marched along a major road despite a police ban.
Confrontations broke out in several central districts, with police using rubber bullets to disperse the demonstrators.
Tear gas was fired in the busy shopping district of Tsim Sha Tsui as well as in Wan Chai on Hong Kong Island.
One image widely shared on social media showed a woman, who was reportedly shot by a police projectile, bleeding heavily from her eye.
