SHANGHAI: Police and other law enforcement officers in Shanghai are finding themselves on the receiving end of more and more assaults, say local judicial officials.

In the first five months of the year, prosecutors dealt with 117 cases involving 150 suspects accused of disrupting law enforcement. A total of 140 suspects in 107 cases were charged, according to a statement from the People's Procuratorate of Shanghai.

In addition to punching, kicking, biting and verbally abusing officers, attackers have dragged them by car, chased them and threatened them with knifes. Police officers have been injured and, in some cases, the attacks have led to "public disorder", the statement added.
