A children's clothing dealer in a small town in Huzhou City, eastern Zhejiang Province led other vendors and his relatives to attack tax collectors yesterday afternoon.
The vendor, a native of Anhui Province, also gathered more than 100 people to block the State Highway 318, but they were dispersed by police, a local news website, wx.hz66.com, reported.
The mob then moved to Fumin Road and their rioting attracted more than 600 onlookers. As they tried to smash a passing Audi sedan, the frightened driver accelerated to flee and his car hit 10 people in the rush. All the wounded were admitted to hospital. Two were in serious condition, the report said.
Around 11:00pm, the rioters surrounded the town hall and vandalized public properties. They also injured several policemen and urban management officers before they were suppressed by police.
Local authorities are now probing into the case.
