BEIJING — Chinese state media says new violence has broken out in a volatile Tibetan region, leaving at least one government official seriously injured.
The official Xinhua News Agency said a riot broke out Thursday night outside government offices in the Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan province along the border with Tibet.
It said an official was "attacked and seriously wounded," but gave no other details.
Late last month, Xinhua reported that protesters in Garze attacked police with knives and stones and killed one policeman.

The violence was part of a wave of anti-government protests in Tibet’s capital and Tibetan populated regions in surrounding provinces.
