Police have seized a man suspected of setting fire on a bus in Guangzhou last night, leaving two dead and 32 others injured, officers today.
The suspect, surnamed Ou, a Hunan native, is under investigation, Guangzhou police said.
Ou confessed that he committed arson because he had lost money on gambling, and wanted to take revenge on the society.
At least eight people were critically injured and were under intensive care.
A woman who was three months pregnant was among the injured, but her condition was not critical, said sources with the No. 2 People’s Hospital in the capital city of south China’s Guangdong Province.
Of the six injured passengers who were sent to the hospital, two were in critical condition.
The other injured passengers were rushed to Xinghai Hospital and No. 421 Hospital in downtown Guangzhou.
Most victims suffered burn-related injuries, and in the severest case, burns exceeded 60 percent of the body surface.
The blast went off on a bus that was in service on route 301 around 7:30pm, a spokesman for Guangzhou’s public security bureau said.
The packed bus had pulled over at Nandunhe stop on Guangzhou Avenue and its doors were still open when the blast happened.
