Train crew beat passenger to death in midnight fray

CREW members of a train allegedly beat a passenger to death who was merely trying to stop their quarrel with another passenger.

The fight occurred shortly after the midnight of Monday when the train K256 from Shenzhen in southern Guangdong Province to Hefei in eastern Anhui Province, stopped at the Ganzhou station in Jiangxi Province.

A passenger quarreled severely with a train conductor in carriage No. 15 and a middle-aged man came to mediate, according to a witness surnamed Lai.

Then came a uniformed beverage seller who punched the middle-aged man in his face and strangled his neck while two other conductors struck the man repeatedly, Lai told Jiangxi TV.

The man died before the ambulance arrived, the Ganzhou Emergency Rescue Center said.

Twenty passengers who witnessed the fight signed their names or left their fingerprints on a testimony.

The Shanghai Railway Bureau which runs rail operations in Jiangxi Province said yesterday that it was unaware of the incident, Jiangxi TV reported.
