Five people were killed and 21 others injured after the bus which had been hijacked crashed into pedestrians on the street Tuesday afternoon, Xinhua reported, quoting local authorities. A suspect, who had a knife, has been detained and an investigation is underway. The attacker was not identified by the police. Photographs shared online showed people lying injured on the ground, while video footage appeared to show the suspect being detained. His motive for the attack has yet to be established.
