The 2019 Prince Edward station attack, also known as the 31 August MTR station incident[2] (Chinese: 831太子站事件),[3][4][5][6] was an incident in which Hong Kong police indiscriminately[7][8][9] attacked passengers while arresting protesters who were returning home via Prince Edward station, on the night of 31 August 2019, after a protest was held that same day. The event was described as the police version of the 2019 Yuen Long attack, and the police have been criticised as acting like terrorists.[10][11] Rumours have been circulated that several protesters were beaten to death at the station, but the police have rejected allegations.[12] However, a mourning vigil was set up by a group of residents outside one exit of the station.[13]
It is known in Hong Kong as the 831 incident, after the date 31 August.[14]
