Man handcuffed

AN innocent man in Longgang District was handcuffed for refusing to cooperate with a police investigation of a street scuffle last week.

Though the man, surnamed Wang, claimed he hadn’t been involved in a street fight, police took him away from his home in front of his 8-year-old child to a police station for investigation.

Police said they received a report saying Wang was involved in a gang fight and had harassed a girl. Wang was later set free.
