Fujian's young Samaritan will not be charged

Prosecutors have decided not to charge a young man who injured another man while being a good Samaritan by stopping an assault.

They said the decision was based on the facts but was also intended to encourage people to be good Samaritans, the public security bureau in Fuzhou, Fujian province, said on Thursday.

According to the bureau, a man surnamed Li broke into the apartment of a woman he knew and physically attacked her after an argument on Dec 26.
