Hong Kong demonstrators have staged flash mob protests all over the city on Sunday afternoon as the months-long political unrest enters its 19th week.

They are heeding the calls online to protest at the shopping malls in different districts to voice their anger against the shops and restaurants owned by pro-Beijing businesspeople, alongside the MTR stations as they continued their attack on the city's railway operator for allegedly aiding police in their clearance operations.

Some have hurled projectiles at the railway tracks of Sha Tin station, vandalised several shops in Tseung Kwan O, set up barricades on key thoroughfares in Mong Kok and Tuen Mun. Heavy police presence could be spotted at various shopping malls and several arrests have been made in Tsuen Wan and Mong Kok.
