Police fired into the air to disperse a large group of thugs wielding clubs and machetes who were seeking to evict residents for a new development, authorities and local media said.
The incident erupted when the men descended on a residential area in Guiyang, capital of Guizhou, before dawn on Sunday, the Guizhou Metropolitan Daily reported.
Even as excavators started demolishing the buildings, the men stormed into homes, threatening to kill residents if they called the police.
Police were eventually alerted, and dozens of officers arrived.
''They fired into the air to warn the people,'' said a police officer in Guiyang district.
After the shots were fired, the armed thugs disappeared into the night, leaving clubs and machetes on the ground.
