Usually when Chinese business owners make the evening news, it's because they are the victims of crimes. But, 2 weeks ago, 53 year-old complainant Harrison Bruce, went to police and accused 4 Chinese men of jumping him in Hattieville and putting a beatdown on him. Those 4 men, 28 year old Wei Lin Huang, 25 year old Wei Feng Xu, 35 year old Da Hong Jiang and 27 year old Xing Hua Zhang, are out on bail tonight.
According to Bruce, the incident happened on March 10 in front of the Everyday Supermarket. Bruce told police that he was standing in front of the store selling his CDs when he got into a quarrel with Wei Lin Huang. He told police that he punched Huang, but he fell to the group when he lost his footing. He said that all 4 men then jumped him.
Police investigated and charged all 4 men with wounding. They were arraigned before Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer, and they all pleaded not guilty. They were released on bail of $1,000, and return to court on March 10. Wei Lin Huang has made a counter complaint of wounding against Bruce, and yesterday he was arraigned and released on bail of $1,000 as well. He returns to court on May 4.
