Angry mob descends upon office

A furious crowd of about 100 people attacked an urban management office in the capital city of Hainan province, leaving one officer and two security guards injured.

"It was total chaos when those men broke into the office on Tuesday night," Luo Chentan, spokesman for the Haikou Urban Management Brigade, told China Daily yesterday.

"No one was arrested at the scene as the police didn't want the violence to be escalated."
