CHAOZHOU, Guangdong - Nine people allegedly involved in a violent wage-related dispute have been detained, local police said on Tuesday.

More than 200 migrant workers, most from Southwest China's Sichuan province, gathered on Monday night in front of a government building in Guxiang township of Chaozhou, Guangdong province, protesting a wage-related dispute that has already led to the serious injury of a migrant worker.

The protest has drawn hundreds of people into escalating violence between migrant workers and local people.
