A man who claims to have Aids has been arrested after hijacking a bus in Hong Kong and causing it to crash, the South China Morning Post has learned.
A source said the 28-year-old mainland Chinese man, surnamed Miao, had blood stains on his hands when he was apprehended.
The man also incoherently spoke in Chinese and appeared dazed, according to the insider.
The 54-year-old Citybus driver, surnamed Choi, made a report to police at 6.45pm on Friday after upper-deck passengers told him that Miao had struck the rear-right windows with an emergency escape hammer, shattering them.
As Choi pulled over near 255 King’s Road in North Point to check the windows, Miao rushed down, jumped into the driver’s seat and released the handbrake, causing the bus to roll backwards and collide with a KMB bus behind it.
