Five in jail for scuffle at hospital

Five individuals have been arrested in connection with a June melee between doctors and family members of a deceased patient.

After 49-year-old patient Yang Junbin died of kidney failure on June 21 at the No 1 Hospital of Nanping, Fujian province, relatives scuffled with doctors and nurses, leaving seven family members and five hospital staff members injured.

A brief statement on the local security bureau's website on Monday said investigating officers had detained five individuals and three others were given bail, but no other details were available.
