A patient has had to be cut free from his
hospital bed in China and forcibly removed by
police after chaining himself down and refusing
to leave.
A court in Beijing ordered that the man, aged 55
and only known by his surname Chen, had to be
removed from the hospital after living there for
more than three years.
But when police turned up to at the hospital
yesterday afternoon, they discovered that he had
chained himself to the bed railings.
Officers were then forced to cut the locks and
remove a visibly distressed Mr Chen, who was
still dressed in his hospital-issue pyjamas, and
struggling with police.
