AN elderly Chinese man has driven
his car through a crowd of pedestrians outside a popular Beijing sports
stadium, injuring eight people in what appears to be a protest against
an unfavourable court ruling.
THE Beijing man, with the surname of Jin, recently lost a property
dispute in court, according to a statement from Beijing police.
The
Beijing Times website said the man's car had the word "injustice"
painted on it as it drove through the crowd on Friday morning. The man
was wearing a piece of fabric on his head bearing the same word. His car finally stopped after slamming into other vehicles at the south gate of Workers' Stadium.
Such attacks on schoolchildren, pedestrians and other innocent
bystanders have become regular occurrences in China, as people vent
their frustrations over legal disputes, slights and other perceived
injustices.
