Drunk Foreigners in China...

"The video is of a news report featuring mobile phone footage of the incident taken by a passenger. The footage shown first is of some Chinese men beating on the foreigner while some bystanders and a subway worker yell for them to stop. The incident occurred on Guangzhou’s Line 5 Metro, with the foreigner having apparently been uncivil and rude to passengers upon boarding the subway. A young Chinese man is interviewed who explains that the foreigner had a knife confiscated by security inspection personnel at the metro station’s security checkpoint. A passenger interviewed over telephone complains about the subway personnel taking away all of the Chinese passengers involved in the fight while leaving the “crazy foreigner” in the subway.

Minutes later, as the subway approached the Ouzhuang station, the “arrogant foreigner” got in trouble again, provoking another man with the middle finger and swearing at him. The footage then shows the foreigner pointing at other passengers saying they are “whores”. Then, a woman surnamed Xie who understands English intervenes but the foreigner knocks her mobile phone out of her hands, leading to some male passengers surrounding and attacking him. When the subway reached the next stop, Taojin station, the foreigner took his luggage and disembarked.

The young Chinese man interviewed earlier says that someone who was next to him smelled alcohol on him, so maybe he was drunk. Miss Xie wonders on a telephone interview how “bloody” it could have been knowing that the foreigner was drunk and had a knife with his luggage. Finally, the police said the matter was still being handled and could not disclose anything to the public."


Here you are the video and Chinese netizens' reactions:
