An elderly Chinese man drove his car through a crowd of pedestrians outside a popular Beijing sports stadium Friday morning, injuring eight people in what appeared to be a protest against an unfavorable court ruling, police said.
The Beijing man, with the surname of Jin, had recently lost the a property dispute in court, according to a statement by Beijing police. The Beijing Times website said his car had the word "injustice" painted on it as it drove through the crowd Friday morning. The man was wearing a piece of fabric on his head bearing the same word.
His car finally came to a stop after slamming into other vehicles at the south gate of Workers' Stadium.
