The man who casually strolled along the street has been arrested by local police. But, through some crazy stroke of luck, he walked away from the whole incident unharmed.
Witnesses at the scene believe the man responsible for the chaos is mentally ill.
Chinese netizens have been quick to comment. One quipped, “At least he is using the crossroads and isn’t a jaywalker.” whilst some have been more sympathetic, “I heard that the man is mentally ill. Security should have stepped up to prevent this from happening.”
