A man police in Jiangxi province were chasing for seven years was arrested on a train last Saturday, thanks to the solar eclipse.

Bai, 33, from Shangrao, Jiangxi, severely injured a student at a school where he ran a canteen in 2002 and fled town.

With the solar eclipse on July 22, a superstitious Bai thought he must return home to stave off any bad luck. He was arrested on the train headed home.

Bai doesn't believe in superstitions anymore.
