A man was taken into custody yesterday on suspicion of setting fire to a doctor at a hospital in Nanning, capital of south China鈥檚 Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, local police said.
The 37-year-old, surnamed Wang, is alleged to have splashed gasoline on to a doctor surnamed Qin and set it alight as the two men were in an elevator at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, China News Service reported.
The incident happened about 8:40am, local police were quoted as saying.
Wang was a patient at the hospital and had been diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer. He had been treated by Qin, who is deputy director of the radiological department, the report said.
As a result of the attack, Qin 鈥渉as burns to 30 to 35 percent of his body鈥 and is in intensive care, the hospital was quoted as saying.
Local newspaper Nanguo Morning Post said Qin suffered burns to his head, face, chest, back and limbs.

Doctor-patient relations in China have been fraught with tension in recent years.
Earlier this year, 34-year-old Lian Enqing was executed for stabbing to death a doctor at a hospital in east China鈥檚 Zhejiang Province.
Lian said he carried out the attack as he was unhappy with the results of a surgical procedure he鈥檇 had performed at the hospital.
