Police nab Metro fire starter
Print Edition
A 20-year-old man has been detained for playing with fire on a Metro train, Shanghai police said yesterday.
The man, surnamed Liu, claimed that he set fire to a Metro map “just for fun,” police said. Liu is under detention on suspicion of “endangering public safety with dangerous methods.”
Metro police investigated the matter after receiving a report on June 30 that a man set a piece of paper on fire several times while riding a Metro Line 4 train.
From a surveillance camera inside the carriage, police spotted the man between Zhenping Road and Shanghai Railway Station stations about 12:25pm.
The paper caught fire and the man shook it to put it out, footage shows. Police tracked the man to a FamilyMart convenience store and determined his identity from his store membership card.
Police said Liu had no criminal record and no history of mental illness.
