POLICE in Zhongshan City, south China's Guangdong Province, yesterday dispersed an angry crowd of about 300 migrant workers protesting the handling of a teenager from Chongqing for beating a local boy.
Two villagers in suburban Shaxi Town tied up the 15-year-old, surnamed Tan, after he beat a 13-year-old local boy on Monday and hurt him in the face. Police came and took Tan in custody, a local news website reported.
But Tan's relatives and friends, about 30 of them, soon arrived and gathered in the office of the village committee in a protest. By 11pm the crowd swelled to about 300 people strong and some threw stones at the office.
Police reinforcement came to maintain order and persuade the protestors to leave. But the crowd gathered again yesterday and did not scatter until about 6pm. No one was seriously wounded in the incident. Some suffered minor injuries, local officials said.
