A passer-by was shot in the face this morning when he offered to capture a robber who snatched 20,000 yuan (US$3,200) worth of gold jewelry from a woman in Xiamen, southeast Fujian Province, a report said.
Wang Bin is still in the intensive care unit of a Xiamen hospital, a Strait Herald journalist You Zhangyou tweeted on t.qq.com, a Twitter-like microblogging site.
The shooting occurred around 9:30am on the city's Zhongshan Road. Three shopping mall security guards were looking for the robber after hearing the woman shouting for help, he wrote.
The armed robber opened fire twice at the chasing guards but failed to hit them. When he was about to pull another shot, Wang Bin stepped in to block his gun and pounced upon him, You said.
After he was apprehended, the robber lied that he was a police officer in an attempt to escape. But no one believed him.
