Chinese man gives evidence at murder trial

A former Chinese "anti-violence" policeman denied today he was provoked into picking a fight with two men who shouted racist abuse at him and his Vietnamese friend as they left a nightclub in Dublin city centre two years ago.

Dong Wei, aged 35, denied that he had retaliated by punching and kicking two assailants after they had called him and a friend "Chinese w**kers": “I did not hit anybody, because I was attacked suddenly and my left eye got injured. I had never experienced anything like that” he said.
