Here is the detailed official report by Sanya Police Station Bureau (Scroll down to see screenshots of the footage):

At around 22:30pm on December 19, 2012, an incident involving the assault of police officers occurred in the parking lot in front of Summer Mall in Dadonghai, Sanya. After a meal, four people, Weng Zhigang and his wife Yue Dan, and Li Jianlin and his wife Shan Zhijing (all confirmed as being from Muling City of Heilongjiang Province and currently living in Sanya), discovered that their Porsche had been scratched by a cement stone and suspected the parking lot’s security guard. They got very angry and threw the cement stone away, which smashed a silver car nearby.

Because of their anger, they mistook Mr. Cai for a security guard and began to pursue and harass him aggressively, while in fact he is a policeman from the Hedong Police Sub Branch who was on duty nearby.

Mr. Cai appealed to policemen nearby to assist him. After two policemen arrived, Weng and the others surrounded them. In the conflict, Weng took off one police officer’s police hat and his wife Yue Dan grabbed a white plastic baton from another police officer’s hands and continued the assault on Mr. Cai, hitting him on his back and right hand.

At 22:42pm, more police reinforcements arrived on the scene in order to bring the situation under control. In their handling of the incident, Song Liantao and Zhang Mingzhi, who were both bystanders from Liaoning Province, were found to have interfered with police official duties, especially Song, who was caught trying to grab a police pistol.

Several minutes later all 4, including Weng, were brought under control by police and taken to a local police station for further investigations.

On December 21, the 4 people including Weng were arrested on suspicion of interfering with public duties and detained by local police at Hedong Poilce Sub Branch. Yue Dan was arrested for intentionally hitting police. Considering she is in her lactation period, she was released on bail pending trial.

On January 24, 2013, the Sanya Suburbs People’s Procuratorate decided to arrest Weng Zhigang, Li Jianlin, Song Liantao and Zhang Mingzhi, all of them are currently being charged and detained at Sanya Detention Center pending prosecution in Sanya court.
