Print Edition
A MAN who charged into a ticket line holding a brick was shot dead by police at a train station in the northwestern city of Xi鈥檃n, police said yesterday.
In a brief statement on its official microblog, the railway police in Xi鈥檃n said the incident took place around 6am.
鈥淥n duty police quickly got to the scene to stop him, and after repeated warnings were ignored opened fire and injured him,鈥 police said.
The man died of his wounds in hospital, police said, adding that the situation at the station had returned to normal.
Police provided no other details. Xi鈥檃n is a popular tourist destination as it is close to the famous terracotta warriors.
A picture on state television鈥檚 microblog showed a body on the ground, which had been pixilated out, on what looked like a square in front of the station with the old city walls behind it. The body was surrounded by police, two of whom carried riot shields.
Public sensitivity to security at China鈥檚 railway stations has increased following a series of incidents including a mass stabbing at a train station last year in the southwestern city of Kunming that left 31 dead. Authorities said that was carried out by separatist militants from the far western region of Xinjiang.
