One person has been killed in a mass brawl between Bangladeshi and Chinese workers.

Police in Bangladesh had to break up the fight, which took place at the site of a partly-built China-funded power plant in the southern district of Patuakhali.

The BBC reports that violence erupted after a Bangladeshi worker fell to his death, and local workers reportedly accused the Chinese of trying to cover up the incident.

Police said more than 1,000 officers were needed to restore calm, after a Chinese worker was killed.
