A 28-year-old man, surnamed Miao, was arrested in Hong Kong on Friday evening after hijacking a Citybus bus. The man, a mainland Chinese national who claimed to have Aids, reportedly smashed the bus's rear windows with an emergency hammer while it was in transit near King's Road in North Point. When the 54-year-old bus driver, surnamed Choi, stopped to inspect the damage, Miao allegedly jumped into the driver's seat and released the handbrake. This caused the bus to roll backwards and collide with another bus. Miao, who had blood stains on his hands and appeared dazed, was taken into custody by police.
