FOUR tourists were beaten up by urban management officers in the seaside city of Sanya in Hainan Province for recording their crackdown on street hawkers with cell phone cameras.
A woman, surnamed Li, said she and three friends took out their mobile phones to record the scene of uniformed officers chasing vendors and seizing their stuffs on Saturday night because they found the action "violent and unjustified," Hainan Daily reported today.
The tourists from Guizhou Province were soon ordered to stop videoing by one officer who threatened to confiscate their phones. Li said her friend, surnamed Shi, was pushed before he poured a bottle of beer on the officer.
Seeing this, another four officers ran up and started beating and kicking Shi. Li and her friends rushing to help were also beaten by them, one wielding a long stick. When Li's friend tried to call police, a man grabbed her phone and stamped it into pieces, the newspaper said.
They were finally stopped by arriving police, who were called by other witnesses on the street.
