A passenger bus running from Huainan, Anhui Province to Xiaoshan, Zhejiang Province was hijacked by four criminals in Nanjing on August 30, according to the local police authorities. At around 14:20, the police succeeded in persuading three of the suspects to turn themselves in, while the fourth suspect was shot down by the police.
At 14:40, a man who sustained facial injuries was sent to the local hospital; it was unknown whether he was the hijacker or one of the passengers. At around 15:12, all hostages were rescued.
According to reports, the hijack occurred near a toll station of the Nanjing 3rd Bridge over Yangtze River as police conducted a routine checkup. Four escaped criminals then took a nine year-old girl as hostage. Initial investigations suggest the suspects are linked to a murder case that occurred in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province on August 27th.
