The MTR on Thursday closed Kwun Tong and Ngau Tau Kok stations on the Kwun Tong Line; Tai Po Market station on the East Rail Line; and Tai Koo station on the Island Line.

The railway operator made the move following vandalism inside the stations and disturbances around Kornhill in Tai Koo.

MTR stations have frequently been the target of anti-extradition protesters, who claim the company has sided with the government by closing stations to prevent them moving around.
