A Hong Kong pro-democracy protester was dragged into the Chinese Consulate grounds in Manchester and beaten up.

In a video, posted by Political Asylum Manchester City Transit Station, an unidentified group of men in face masks approach the consulate fence at a pro-democracy demonstration outside the consulate and drag a man inside.

The protester told Voice of America (VOA), that the men took away a satirical portrait of Xi Jinping and then beat him up.

He said: “After I was pulled in, I was punched and kicked. I had scars on my face, bleeding, and swelling. Hair was pulled from my head, swollen and bruised. I had bruises on my neck and back, and my waist was a little sore.”
