Hong Kong: Six people were arrested in Hong Kong after chaos erupted on the streets of the city's shopping district of Mong Kok as hundreds of protesters clashed with the police, authorities confirmed on Monday.

After the first mass rally in the tourist hotspot of Kowloon against the government's now-suspended extradition bill drew an estimated 230,000 peaceful protesters on Sunday afternoon, many remained behind to occupy the streets of Mong Kok and confront police late into the night, reports the South China Morning Post.
