Man arrested after attack over noise
A man alleged to have attacked a garbage sorter with a knife because of the noise has been arrested, Putuo District prosecutors said.
The suspect, surnamed Wu, 21, and his mother shared a 3-bedroom apartment with an elderly couple who made a living from recycling waste.
When Wu was resting in his room at 9pm on October 25 last year, the couple were sorting garbage in the living room, prosecutors said. Wu asked them to stop because of the noise but they didn’t listen.
Wu is said to have spat on the husband, surnamed Zhang, and the dispute escalated. A fight ensued, during which Wu hit Zhang in the head. Zhang managed to call the police when his wife took a stick to beat Wu, they said. Wu is alleged to use a fruit knife to attack Zhang, injuring him slightly. Prosecutors said Wu's mother and Zhang’s wife grabbed the knife before police arrived.
