Mr. Li said that at the time there was only one female staff member in the duty monitoring room of the management office. When they legally asked the staff member to call the person in charge over, the construction team leader Mr. Huang arrived with his son. At the time, Mr. Huang demanded his tools be returned, and his stance was very aggressive. But Mr. Wang did not agree, and an argument ensued between them. "Later, Mr. Huang started grabbing for his tools, but Mr. Wang wouldn't let go," Mr. Li said. As Mr. Wang and Mr. Huang were arguing, Mr. Huang's son, who was standing aside, suddenly rushed forward, took out a fruit knife with his left hand, and slashed Mr. Wang's neck fiercely before quickly escaping. "The entire process lasted less than two seconds, I didn't even have time to react," Mr. Li said.
Weekends are prohibited for construction, yet property management did nothing about it.
According to Mr. Li, a resident of the incident neighborhood, at 9:50 AM yesterday, he left home to go to his wife's stall. In front of the stall, a construction team was carrying out gas pipeline construction work. Another resident, Mr. Wang (a pseudonym), was negotiating with them, saying that construction is not allowed on weekends as it would disturb the normal rest of the residents. Subsequently, the workers stopped working, so Mr. Li and Mr. Wang confiscated their tools and placed them in the duty room of the neighborhood.

Bought a cake, originally planning to celebrate his wife's birthday properly, but unexpectedly met with bloodshed - around 10 o'clock yesterday morning, a member of the owners' committee of Yunjing Garden in Baiyun District was allegedly injured in a throat-cutting incident after prohibiting a construction team from working on weekends, almost losing his life. The attacker, reportedly just released on bail, fled the scene afterward, and the police are making every effort to capture him.
"Construction on this project was supposed to start in March, but it has been delayed until now without completion. Therefore, in order to catch up with the schedule, the construction team reached such a verbal agreement with the previous owners' committee," said Manager Chen. Current members of the owners' committee stated that since the changeover, the street office has indicated that the projects in the community should be followed up by the property management office and the residents' committee, no longer allowing Mr. Huang's construction team to get involved.
Mr. Huang's Son: He Was Helping His Father Out Of A Tight Spot
Speaking of Mr. Wang, many residents of the incident neighborhood expressed that he was very righteous. As a member of the owners' committee, he was usually enthusiastic about helping everyone deal with some difficult issues. Mrs. Wang's wife, Ms. Ling (a pseudonym), told reporters that yesterday was her birthday. Her husband bought a cake early in the morning and sent it to her workplace, preparing to celebrate together when she finished work. However, her husband encountered an accident in the morning.
"When I heard that his throat was cut, I almost fell down," Ms. Ling said. She arrived at the hospital while her husband was being saved. "The wound was six or seven centimeters long. If it had been deeper, it would have damaged the trachea, and the consequences would have been unimaginable." Ms. Ling said that with her husband injured like this, she lost all mood to celebrate her birthday, taking leave to take care of her husband at the hospital.
Other residents also complained that Mr. Huang's construction team often violated regulations by working on weekends, but the property management office never stopped them. Regarding this, the manager of the property management office of the community said that the construction team working on weekends was due to a verbal agreement with the previous owners' committee, thus not violating any rules.
Currently, Mr. Wang's condition has stabilized, and his medical expenses are temporarily covered by the cousin of the assailant.
A Tragic Day For Happiness
Mr. Li informed reporters that half a year ago, the neighborhood began gas pipeline renovation, but it still hasn't been completed. According to the neighborhood regulations, construction is prohibited on weekends. Both Mr. Li and Mr. Wang are members of the neighborhood owners' committee. They had long been dissatisfied with the construction team working on weekends, but despite multiple negotiations with the property department, there was no improvement.
Owner Rights Protection Ends In Throat Slashing
"At the time, I was arguing with Mr. Wang. His voice was particularly loud, and any son would help his dad," said construction team leader Mr. Huang. He believed his son helped him out of trouble, which led to the mistake. "His right hand was fractured, only his left hand could be used. Could someone like him commit murder?" Mr. Huang said that before the incident, his son had just received an injection at a nearby clinic and coincidentally met Mr. Wang, not premeditated murder as others suggested.
Mr. Wang, whose throat was slashed, immediately bled profusely, and soon his shirt was stained red with blood. "He was holding the wound with one hand and calling the police with the other," said Mr. Li. The staff beside him was completely shocked, pale-faced, standing there motionless. Soon, the ambulance arrived, and Mr. Wang was urgently taken to the hospital for rescue.
Mr. Li claimed that the skills of the assailant were very fast, "he should be a habitual offender."
According to Mr. Li, the assailant was about 30 years old, wearing shorts and tank tops, with a pair of sunglasses. His right hand was injured, wrapped in bandages, but tattoos could be seen. "At the time, Mr. Huang was going to take him to the hospital, but he didn't expect him to make such a move," some informed residents said. The assailant had a criminal record and was currently on bail, required to sign in at the police station daily.
