Brave bus inspector fends off knife-wielding passenger in China

Footage has emerged of a brave bus inspector fighting off a man stabbing passengers in Beijing earlier this month.

Video filmed inside the bus shows a man in camouflage clothing leaving his seat and walking to the front of the vehicle.

After he and another man crash into each other, he suddenly takes out a knife and attempts to stab him.

The bus inspector, named Li Bin, immediately runs towards the attacker and tries to grab the weapon.

The bus driver, named Qiao Yanjun, stops the vehicle and opens the door to let the passengers leave, before joining Li in wrestling the man to the ground.

The police then arrive and help Li and Qiao subdue the knifeman, before taking him away.

Li suffered injures and the case is being investigated, reports claim.
