A Chinese hospital patient angry with his in-laws took a nurse hostage by holding a knife to her throat on Feb 18. The incident, which took place in the Jiangsu People’s Hospital in Nanjing, eastern China, lasted about half an hour.
Photos taken at the scene show bystanders doing nothing or taking pictures with their phones.
The hostage-taker, a 34-year -old surnamed Wang, was irritated that the police had previously ignored his personal feud with his brothers-in-law.
