A protester who was allegedly attacked by staff outside the Chinese Consulate in Rusholme says he ‘feels empty’ and reportedly had hair pulled from his scalp.
The man, named Bob, was speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald earlier today about the incident on Sunday (October 16). He was being translated by his wife, Kimmy.
His comments come as another pro-Hong Kong protester called the situation ‘ridiculous’, which saw several people march out of the Chinese Consulate on Denison Road to take banners from the demonstration. Police officers intervened in the incident, but as of Monday lunchtime, GMP has yet to make a formal statement on the matter.
