Furious, people gathered quickly, surrounding a vehicle used by urban patrol officers, or chengguan, and attacking it with sticks, bricks and other objects. They even overturned an ambulance that came to offer medical aid to the injured.
This violent incident occurred after a clash between the chengguan officers and a vendor in Lingxi town, Cangnan county, Zhejiang province on Saturday.
It is the latest bloody conflict between the public and chengguan officers triggered by public outrage over the behavior of these quasi-police officers, a group that is widely viewed as being offensive in their enforcement of the laws.
