A driver plowed a bulldozer into a crowd at a busy market in Beijing’s Fangshan District on March 29, according to videos, witness accounts, and online discussion later scrubbed from Chinese social media.

Chinese authorities have not publicly reported the incident. However, multiple local residents told The Epoch Times that something serious occurred at the Dahanji market, and social media users noted the quick removal of videos and reports about the case.
