They beat a female reporter live on her livestream, but she kept filming.
Horrific violence in Yuen Long, where groups of men in white shirt used sticks to beat up people in black. A @StandNewsHK reporter streaming the event was herself beaten by several men. The injured reporter is STILL live on Facebook. 154k people watching. https://t.co/nx1NjarsRz

Yuen Long is an MTR railway station stop.
Onlookers keep telling the reporter to get treated for her evidently visible bruises. But she's kept filming – perhaps because she knows she's one of a handful of reporters there in Yuen Long station right now.

She kept going after she was beaten up, and was chased again and again by men in white with sticks in their hands. There were absolutely no police around.
Her voice was shaky but she never stopped filming. Incredible courage.

The attackers are believed to be Triad members attacking them on behalf of the Chinese government, attacking anyone dressed in black, the color some of the anti-extradition bill protesters have worn.
Meanwhile, absolutely astonishing scenes in Yuen Long, where Triad members clad in white are attacking anyone suspected of being a pro-democracy demonstrator (people wearing black are a target as that’s been the dress code for some marches, hence why triads are all in white). pic.twitter.com/lo13nRGp0L
