An argument in a karaoke bar led to pitched battle involving up to 30 men in the street
It was the 50 seconds of 'intense violence' that saw a bloody gang feud between rival factions of 'Triads' explode on the streets of Manchester's Chinatown. When the dust had settled six men were seriously injured, with two left fighting for their lives in intensive care.
Occasionally however the Triads do hit the headlines. In 2013 police launched an appeal after a Triad gang member went missing from Clayton. It detailed how in October 2004 a young man was found dead in Chinatown, in a killing later dubbed the 'DVD murder'. But when one group, who police suspected may have been linked to the 14K, refused, violence erupted. A trial at Manchester Crown Court heard that as the brawl spilled out onto the road outside the karaoke bar, the alleged leader of the Wo Shing Wo shouted 'I've run the streets of Manchester for over 10 years – who do you think you are?'
Four men from Greater Manchester were later jailed after being found guilty of violent disorder. They fought on the Wo Shing Wo side of the brawl, but denied being Triads.
