Woman Refusing Quarantine Hacks SWAT Cops With Cleaver

This is the moment a woman in China refuses to be taken to hospital to be quarantined amid the coronavirus outbreak and repeatedly swings a meat cleaver at armed SWAT officers trying to take her from her home.

Body-worn camera footage dated 5th February shows police officers with Xiedu Police Station crammed in the corridor outside suspect Ms Sun’s home in Wenzhou City’s Lucheng District in East China’s Zhejiang Province.

The authorities said Ms Sun, among other individuals, was deemed a public health risk after having likely been exposed to the Wuhan coronavirus.
