An aggrieved 62-year-old man drove a car into a crowd outside a sports hall in the southern Chinese coastal city of Zhuhai on Nov 11, killing at least 35 people in one of the worst attacks in the country in recent years.
The man, identified by local police only by his surname, Fan, rammed an SUV into a large group of people exercising around a track at the Zhuhai Sports Centre at 7.48pm on Monday.
Zhuhai police released a short statement late on Nov 11, saying the man tried to flee after driving his vehicle into a large number of people, and was arrested. News of the hit-and-run incident was not widely reported until the evening of Nov 12.
