A man hijacked his employers' bus on Monday, knocking down pedestrians and killing nine people as he careened through the northern Chinese port city of Tianjin, state media reported.
The 40-year-old man, a dispatch clerk in a transport company, stole the company bus, which was empty, after attacking a fellow clerk with a knife in an argument, the Xinhua News Agency said.
Eleven people were also wounded as the hijacker, surnamed Zhang, ploughed through the city streets.
Tianjin police sent dozens of vehicles in pursuit, and Zhang hit three of their vehicles, wounding four officers, before he was caught at an intersection, the report said.
