From local news paper:
A few days ago the crew was decided to shoot in a little shopping mall in Hong Kong, they paid nearby shops before they start any shooting, in case they break anything. But there was a Hardware Store that was closed for a long time, and the crew can't contact anyone from the shop. Today (17 Oct) when they start to shoot, the owner of the shop returned with two young man, asking them to pay. (This is a tradition among Hong Kong gangster/triad, where they ask for some "protection fee" when someone come to work in their territory).
The crew argued with them and called the police, when policemen arrived, those three man fought with the police and the crew , one of them ram into Micheal Bay, injuring two senior policeman and a western director (
). At last they are all arrested and one of them were found to be a fugitive.
Policeman are and talking with the crew and investigating.
Policeman closed the area for investigation.
btw I am from Hong Kong
(sorry for my bad English )

Cool! Hopefully Michael Bay got sucker punched right in the face. I would pay money to see that. I would rather see that than this inevitable train wreck of a movie he is filming.

Blimey, Chinese mobs in this day and age (that's not racism, by the way)
I'm guessing nobody was too injured from the article, that's good.
Man, what if Bay actually went full on action star like the characters he directs 
For a minute when I saw the news post I thought maybe a faction of the TF fandom had finally cracked over his portrayal of Transformers.
If I can just clarify, this post is kinda tongue in cheek. I'm not racist to the Chinese (I really like the oriental half of the world, actually), I do not find violence toward anyone funny, and even if I am starting to really dislike Micheal Bays handling of the franchise, I do not expect or condone hate from the fandom.

I don't get it. why didn't they just pay the shop owners like they paid the others.

It could be implied that they were not being "agreeable". These men were found to be fugitives that were not even easy to contact. I might be watching too many movies here, but they probably were more focused on intimidation (they had the gall to FIGHT POLICE officers, in the US, they probably wouldn't be alive) or asked for a very high price.
In other news, Bay will probably brag about stopping crime internationally.

Wrong! He would have opened the 9th circle of hell where the ORIGINAL Scripts of his movies are kept.

Call a spade a spade?? Well...in that case I'm going to have to call the rest of you who are promoting and reveling in the attempts at violence against Bay complete and total assholes and piss poor representatives of our fandom and quite possibly the lowest form of human life on the planet. Disgusting little pukes is what you people are. You may not like his work and you are well entitled to that opinion but to wish violence upon him simply because YOU don't happen to agree with his style of film making? **** You, you arrogant little bastards! I hope somebody beats the holy living **** out of YOU people because, quite frankly, you all offend the hell out of me and are an insult and an abomination to this entire fandom.
There... pisses you all off, doesn't it? Offended, ready to lash back at me and rip me a new one, get me banned or just plain jump up in my face? Then think about how everyone else that YOU attack feels!! Sucks, doesn't it?
Now, the question is... are any of you actually going to learn anything from this or do I have to make my inflammatory example above an actual hard and fast, true-to-life opinion of how you folks REALLY are? I would hate to think that my fellow fans are really like that but honestly, many of you make it VERY easy to accept that belief.
Mods... you know me by now, you know I have done stuff like this in the past simply to get folks to think, to open their eyes, to view things differently and see how their actions affect others and how they are representing this site to the rest of the world. You know I do this because I actually give a damn about my fellow fans and how we are represented out there so having said this, do what you will with me.
