Bloody fight erupts over line cutters in packed tourist hotspot

The row took place on 2 November at the Five-Coloured Pond viewing platform in Sichuan’s Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area. It reportedly began when a 62-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman tried to move ahead of a younger couple while taking photographs; all three injured people received treatment and were later out of danger. Police investigated both parties, who apologised and reached an agreement through mediation.
