Man hijacks bus and drives it into crowd, killing 5 & injuring 21 in Longyan, China

A man has hijacked a bus and drove it into a crowd of people in Chinas city of Longyan, killing five people and injuring 21 others. The attacker is believed to have entered the bus armed with a knife and caused panic.

The incident happened in the coastal southeastern Fujian province. The assailant was reportedly detained by police. He apparently attacked passengers with a knife and, when people started fleeing, sat behind the wheel and drove into a crowd. One of those killed is thought to be a police officer.

Online footage, purporting to be from the scene, shows a road littered with parts from damaged vehicles and a group of police officers and bystanders pouncing on the alleged hijacker.

Other clips show people lying on the ground, apparently hurt in the incident (WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES).
