An apartment owner in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, repeatedly kicked a security guard’s head over slow food delivery, causing bleeding and brain contusion risk. Police arrested the man; his family cited mental illness, while property management retained counsel for the guard.

Social Context

Violence against service workers violates Article 234 of the Criminal Law (intentional injury), with enhanced penalties for attacks on uniformed personnel under judicial interpretations since 2020. Mental health claims require court-ordered forensic evaluation—no automatic exemption exists under Chinese law.

Safety Tip

Security staff should wear body cameras and de-escalation training certificates; report threats immediately to police via 110 and retain medical documentation for civil claims.
