Hundreds of rioters battered five Chinese police officers to within an inch of their lives in protest at the beating of a woman and a brutal attack on an innocent bystander.
A baying mob rounded on the officials after hearing reports they had bullied a female street vendor then attacked a man who took photos of the incident.
Eyewitnesses said the photographer was punched to the ground, then kicked and hit with a hammer for more than a minute until he vomited blood.
