Police officers arrived shortly after"dozens" of people gathered at the mall in the city's Mong Kok district, Radio Television Hong Kong reported. The police said it was an unauthorised assembly, saying in a statement that they would make"resolute enforcement actions" and members of the crowd could face arrest.
