An Apple Store employee and a customer got into a fight amid the launch of the new iPad2 in China, making for the most intense debut of the iPad in any country.

Witnesses say a fight between a native Chinese man and a foreign Apple employee broke out on May 7 as customers waited in line for the new iPad 2.

Four people were injured and hospitalized, and a glass door was smashed by the crowd because it was so incensed at the physical violence.

One witness reportedly got hit in the head with a glass bottle. Photos taken in the aftermath of the scuffle showed customers with wounds and some laying on the ground injured.
