Recent surveillance footage of four men attacking women in a restaurant in China’s northern city of Tangshan has provoked a public outcry on Chinese social media, as people demand an investigation into an alleged police connection with the attackers.
The CCTV footage dated June 10 at 2.40 a.m. shows a woman in white dining with three other females, when a man in an olive jacket approaches their table and puts his hand on her back. She pushes him away several times, and then the man slaps her. Soon the situation turns into chaos, with the man and his companions hitting all of the women. They shove one of the woman’s friends to the ground, kick her, and throw a chair at her.
