Chen Jizhi, described as a man in his forties, entered the barbecue shop and sexually harassed a young woman who was having barbecue with her friends. The woman's attempt at self-defense was met with violence. Seeing her friend assaulted, one of the women smashed a bottle on the head of the assailant. At this time, some of the assailant's companions left their outside dining seats and joined in on the assault.
The store owner, a woman in her sixties, attempted to verbally break up the fight, but was only able to move the fight outside as the initial female victim was dragged outside by her hair. The female victim was continuously assaulted in the form of kicking and punching that focused mostly on her head. Additionally, approximately 7–8 bottles had been smashed her head. Other women at the restaurant attempted to rescue the beaten woman, but they were all assaulted by the group as other men watched. The battered women were left with serious head injuries. [8] After the incident, nine suspects fled the scene. [9]
According to official reports, on 10 June, the four victims were treated for injuries at the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology. The condition of two of them was listed as stable and non-life-threatening, and they were said to have left the hospital prior to the official announcement. The two other women were hospitalized for treatment, and the hospital stated that one suffered serious mouth injuries and lost several teeth. [10] On 12 June, The Paper was informed that the two hospitalized women still needed wheelchairs to enter and exit the ward, but visitation was prevented by hospital staff due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [11] On 13 June, a reporter went to the hospital to investigate the treatment of the injured women, and hospital staff said that the women had been transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward. The two women were also reportedly treated at the hospital's stomatology department after suffering severe trauma to the head. Earlier in the day, there were rumors on Weibo that one of the two beaten women had died; the Tangshan Women's Federation denied the rumors. As of 13 June, the two injured women were in stable physical condition. [12]
On 20 June, the Shanghai Ministry of Justice Institute of Forensic Science issued a forensic opinion that the degree of injury to the hospitalized victims was minor (Grade 2) and the degree of injury to unhospitalized victims was minor. [13] A police officer pointed out that the judicial appraisal of light and minor injuries is different from the general understanding, commonly known as "light injuries are not light, serious injuries are very serious"; according to the appraisal standards, light injuries are injuries that are moderately harmful to personal health.
