Because of being blocked when confiscating the vending cart of an unlicensed vendor, Chengdu City Chenghua District urban management personnel sprinkled pepper to the eyes of the street vendors.
On the evening of March 11, near the No.61 bus stop on Jian'nanxin Road in Chenghua District of Chengdu City, a small truck with the license plate Sichuan AK6793 was parked on the sidewalk, with the words "Urban Management Enforcement" printed on it. An old man lay in the driver's seat, groaning in pain.
At the time of the incident, Ms. Xiang happened to be passing by. She said: "A small truck drove onto the sidewalk and stopped, and four middle-aged men got out of the car and immediately ran towards the potato vendor." Ms. Xiang said that when the old potato vendor saw the urban management officers coming, he immediately pushed his cart and tried to run away, but at this point these men had already reached the stall and started to 'grab the cart'. The old man held on tightly, and a scuffle broke out between them. During this time, one of the urban management officers grabbed the chili powder from the cart and sprinkled it into the old man's eyes.
