The store was closed since the altercation while employees cleamed up the leftover for mess. According to Chinese site MacX, the store looked like there had been a fight inside because several customers had blood on their faces. An unconfirmed report from Chinese blog Sinatech quoted a police source as saying that an Apple Store employee had beat up a jobless man who was acting as a scalper.
