Resident throws bottle at judge over water hikes

A resident threw a plastic bottle at a judge to protest the hike in the price of water during a recent public hearing in Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province.

Liu Tianxiao, a retired teacher, alleged all the 32 representatives at the public hearing on Tuesday were government workers, none of whom were opposed to the price hike.

Liu said he threw the bottle at the judge because he "did not even get a chance" to voice his disapproval.
