Underage assault in Inner Mongolia: four detained, one gets correctional education

Local authorities in Wuyuan County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, have imposed disciplinary measures against five female students involved in the physical assault of a 13-year-old peer. The incident, which occurred on January 11, 2026, prompted official intervention after video evidence circulated widely across social media platforms.

According to police reports, the altercation began with a personal conflict between the victim, identified only by her surname Liu, and a 14-year-old instigator surnamed Fu. The situation escalated when Fu invited four other girls to accompany them to a secluded area within a building complex. There, the group subjected Liu to sustained verbal harassment, physical violence, and threats while bystanders recorded the incident.

Medical examinations confirmed that Liu sustained cutaneous injuries and soft tissue contusions requiring medical attention. The regional public security bureau subsequently initiated formal proceedings under China’s public security administration protocols.

Four of the perpetrators, all aged 14, have received administrative detention and financial penalties. The fifth individual, aged 13, is undergoing mandatory corrective education programming designed to address juvenile behavioral issues. Officials emphasized that all measures were implemented in strict accordance with China’s legal framework governing minor offenses.
