Chinese cyclist ‘carries out revenge attack on Japanese car’
Man, 31, arrested by police in Guangdong province after reportedly deliberately crashing his electric bicycle into front of Toyota and then hitting the bonnet of the car with a road sign
A Chinese man reportedly deliberately crashed his electric bicycle into a Japanese car and then struck the bonnet using a road sign “as an act of revenge for China”, mainland media reports.
The man, identified only by his surname, Qin, allegedly rode his bicycle into the Toyota car while the driver was waiting at traffic lights at a road junction in the city of Zhongshan, in Guangdong province, on Tuesday afternoon, Zhongshan Daily reported.
After hitting the car with his bike, Qin, 31, threw a bag at the car, sending the contents of the bag flying across the road, the report said on Thursday.
Qin then allegedly picked up a small road safety sign from the side of the road and smashed it onto the bonnet of the vehicle, while shouting, “[I am taking revenge for China [by] damaging Japanese cars”.
The owner of the car then called the police.
Qin was detained at the scene but reportedly broke free from the police and ran over to another vehicle of unknown make and shattered the front windscreen with his fist.
