News has learned Ben Ren Yu, a diplomat stationed at China's consulate
in Houston, Texas was arrested and injured Saturday night by Houston
police who were unaware he was a diplomat when they cuffed him on
consulate property.

According
to information obtained by CBS News, Deputy Consular General Yu, 53, 
was driving in Houston with another passenger, when a marked Houston
Police car attempted to pull him over for a missing license plate. 

Yu
did not slow down and kept driving to the Chinese Consulate, entering a
garage via an automatic door with officers in pursuit.

Multiple
Houston PD officers chased Yu into the building and placed him in
handcuffs. The officers were unaware the building Yu entered was the
Chinese Consulate, according a source.

The
Chinese diplomat sustained injuries to his head and neck during the
arrest and was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital by ambulance. The
other passenger, Ms. Ging Hua Deng, was not injured.

"We
have demanded the U.S. side to abide by the Vienna Convention on
consular relations and the China-U.S. treaty on consular relations,"
Wang Zhihong, Consul at the Chinese Consulate in Houston, told CBS News.

The Houston Police Department has not yet responded to requests for comment.
