Police in Xi'an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, said today that they have caught a suspect that smashed the head of a Toyota Corolla owner with a U-shaped steering-wheel lock during an anti-Japanese protest on September 15.
Police have detained the suspect, surnamed Cai, and the case is in under investigation, Xi'an's Lianhu district police bureau said in a statement on its Weibo.cn account. It didn't give other details of the case.
Protests took place in many Chinese mainland cities on September 15 and 16 against Japan's illegal purchase of China's Diaoyu Islands. Some turned violent as rioters smashed Japanese-made cars.
According to earlier media reports, the car owner Li Jianli, 51, was partially paralyzed after the beating and is in hospital for treatment. A video of the violence has been released and widely watched online, prompting a round of soul-searching over the anti-Japanese campaigns.
Li was reportedly out in the downtown area of Xi'an on September 15, looking for an apartment for his soon-to-be-married son but happening to drive the Japanese-brand car into one of the anti-Japanese demonstrations.
He leaped out of the car to plead with the burly young people not to trash the vehicle, but was badly hurt. The video showed that Li was bleeding on the pavement as a young man repeatedly hits Li in the head before moving on to attack the car.
