Customer sprays tear gas to protest high price

Two female shop attendants in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, were injured after a customer used tear gas on them to protest the price.

According to Liang, one of the attendants at the mobile phone shop, two men came in and asked about a mobile phone. One of the men thought the price was too expensive and had a quarrel with the attendants. Then the man took out a black bottle-like object and sprayed gas at them and ran away.
