Four injured in an iPAD 2 fight at Beijing Apple Store.

Four people were sent to hospital after a scuffle broken out at a Beijing Apple Store. The rage for the recently released iPAD 2 and white iPhone 4 in China had customers and resellers lining up outside an Apple Store in Beijing.

Sources at MacObserver.com reported that the scuffle started by the resellers were told to wait in line outside the store and were not allowed to get inside. Some resellers got mad and started to smash the glass door (which cost around USD46,000).

What happended next, allegedly, was a foreign, non chinese Apple store employee came out with an iron rod and hit people of which 4 were sent to hospital.
