An alleged thief has learned quite a painful lesson after he was caught stealing at a sports academy in Harbin, north China.
More than 100 students at Harbin Sport University rushed to one of the college's dormitories on Saturday after a pupil reported seeing a suspicious man loitering on the school grounds.
The man was recognised by students as a suspected thief who had previously stolen at the school before and was subsequently cornered and beaten up by the angry pupils - many of whom are said to major in martial arts.
Police eventually had to intervene to rescue the man from the wrath of the students. He was reportedly unhurt.
