Parents Brawling in a Playground After Their Children Argued Over Toys
A group of adults were filmed brawling in a playground in southern China after their children argued over toys. In the footage, a number of men can be seen throwing punches and kicks, and grappling with each other. At one point, one of the participants starts throwing toys from the playground around. A man was left sprawled on the ground at the end of the incident – when staff at the shopping centre intervened to stop the fight. The Shenzhen police department issued a statement the next day to deny claims circulating on social media that one participant had been seriously injured and left in a vegetative state. Instead, the force’s Weibo account said, one person had suffered minor injuries. Police said the adults involved were “under police control” and the case was under investigation, but did not give further details. After the children, whose ages were not known, began arguing, their mothers weighed in to support their offspring. But their confrontation soon escalated into physical contact – at which point first their husbands and then their friends started to join in the fight. Fights between families caused by playground rows are relatively commonplace in China. |
