Two men came to blows on the Beijing subway platform yesterday evening at Beijing’s Jintailu Station after one jumped the queue for the train. A crowd formed around the two men fighting. When a foreign men tried to stop the fight, he was punched several times by the men, who were attempting to get at each other.
The fight was very intense, said a witness. At one point, one of the men was on the ground, and the other grabbed him by the neck and started choking him. None of the onlookers did anything to stop them, until a foreign man tried to separate the two.
Photos taken by witnesses show that the foreign man was black, and about a head shorter than the two Chinese men. One of the Chinese men in the fight was wearing a suit jacket.
Mr. Liu, another witness, said that after the two men were separated, one man saw the police approaching and quickly got on the train. The other man followed him into the train. The foreign man remained at the scene.

@Benjamin321: I expect nothing less in one of the most polluted cities in the world. As the concentration of lead dissolved in the blood stream rises, violent and irrational behavior rises as well. Shenzhen does have all types, and we do have skirmishes from time to time. However, I have never seen anything pulled down here beyond a make shift weapon.

its boring here in China. I wish I could see some fights on the subway, i'd start bringing popcorn just in case. When a fight starts, bust out the popcorn "Lets get ready to rumble !"

Pai dui: learn it and speak it in a strong deep unyielding tone. If there are many people around they will get very embarrassed you called them out and might even walk away. I have never had one argue the point. The people that cut the line most in Shenzhen are small children, middle aged Chinese from the countryside, and the elderly who are subsequently teaching their young grandchildren and onlooking piers bad habits. I always call these people out, mainly for my own sanity as a form of release and secondly I live here and I want the behavior to stop. I am a teacher around the clock whether I am getting paid for it or not.

In Shenzhen that is fine thing to do, however in Beijing some turd might try to stab you over that, brother. I have seen northerners fight with fists, walking sticks, and beat each other with rocks over much less.
