BEIJING (AP) — A hijacker with a knife drove a bus into pedestrians Tuesday in a southeastern Chinese city before being captured, police said. At least five people were reportedly killed.
Another 21 people were injured in the afternoon attack in Longyan in Fujian province, south of Shanghai, according to a police statement.
The announcement gave no details of the attacker's identity or a motive. It gave no indication how many fatalities occurred aboard the bus and how many among pedestrians.
A video clip on the website of the newspaper Beijing News showed a half dozen police officers wrestling the attacker to the ground in the middle of a street as traffic flowed past.
