HONG KONG—Hong Kong police fired tear gas on Sept. 22 to break up pro-democracy protesters who trashed fittings at a railway station and shopping mall, the latest confrontation in more than three months of unrest.

It was the biggest of several clashes across the city, most taking place in or near Mass Transit Railway (MTR) subway stations, now a familiar target of attack.
