Crowds mourn cop who died to protect others

THOUSANDS of people turned out yesterday to bid farewell to a 24-year-old police officer in Xuzhou, a city in eastern Jiangsu Province, who sacrificed his life to save other officers from an armed attack, officials said.

Huang Sheng and three other officers from Zifang community questioned a man surnamed Liu last Thursday in Bingzhou in Shandong Province as part of a fraud case investigation.

Liu, upset by the questioning, decided to attack the officers shortly after they left, authorities said. Liu gathered a group of people who used three off-road vehicles to box in the officers, smashing their vehicle's windows and beating the officers.

Huang, trying to protect his colleagues, was slashed in the back and later died at a hospital emergency room from excessive blood loss, according to a preliminary investigation. There were no details on the other officers' injuries.

Shandong police have arrested 15 suspects, China Central Television reported.
