Violence erupts outside Chinese Consulate in Manchester during pro-Hong Kong rally
Police have confirmed they are investigating an ‘assault’ on a man at a pro-Hong Kong rally outside the Chinese Consulate in Manchester yesterday .
Now, after condemnation of the incident, GMP has confirmed it is investigating an assault. The man subjected to the alleged assault remained in hospital overnight. “We understand the shock and concern that this incident will have caused not just locally, but for those much further afield who may have connections with our communities here in Greater Manchester,” Assistant Chief Constable Rob Potts said. “It is clear what began as a peaceful protest unexpectedly escalated and our officers acted professionally in response to a hostile and dynamic situation to help the victim and ensure he didn’t come to any further harm.
A GMP spokesperson said around 30 to 40 people gathered outside the Chinese Consulate, and local patrols were deployed in the area to help maintain the peaceful protest. Shortly before 4pm a small group of men came out of the building and a man was dragged into the Consulate grounds and assaulted, the spokesperson added.
