Hospital mob wounds six

RELATIVES of a patient who died after throat surgery rampaged through a Shanghai hospital wielding knives, wounding six people and trying to push a doctor out of a window.

The 20-strong mob stormed through Xinhua hospital after a patient, named as Liu Yonghua, died on Monday.

They tried to throw a deputy director from an eighth-floor window, but staff stopped them.

Chinese hospitals have suffered several such attacks triggered by claims for damages or complaints of overcharging or fake treatment.
