Zhang Xijun, 50, ran over the feet of two girls with his Land Rover SUV near Yeshi Bridge of Jixi City in Heilongjiang Province. The girls stood in front of the SUV and stopped the driver, who smelled of alcohol, Zhang Liwen, a witness and policeman on his way back home from work, told the newspaper.

Police rushed to the site in minutes while people were beating the driver with clubs, the report said.
