A protester who was allegedly assaulted in the Chinese consulate in Manchester has said he was 'shocked' that the incident took place on British soil. Speaking at a press conference in Westminster on Wednesday (October 19), Bob Chan said he was 'hurt' by the alleged incident as he reiterated his claims that he 'did not attempt' to enter the consulate and was 'dragged' into the grounds.
Officers attended the incident, outside the Chinese Consulate in Manchester, on Sunday afternoon (October 16). Police said an investigation was underway after reports a man was 'dragged into the consulate grounds and assaulted'.
The man was 'removed' from the grounds by police over 'fears for his safety' and was later treated in hospital, the force said. GMP is still investigating the alleged assault inside the consulate grounds and, in an update issued on Wednesday afternoon, say that no arrests have been made so far.
