Rough treatment by security of woman passenger in China draws concern, official response sparks outrage


Video of the incident shows the woman was manhandled and forcibly removed from the train. The response from Xian metro caused further outrage, partly because it appeared to be dishonest. — SCMP

The rough removal of a woman from a train in Xian, and a statement from the local metro that seemed to muddle the truth, sparked fury in China on Aug 31.

The viral video from the capital of Shaanxi province in northwest China showed a woman arguing with a security guard. After a moment, the guard lunged at the woman, grabbed her, sharply pulled her off the bench and then dragged her off the train.
