A robber who kidnapped a boy in Chengdu, Sichuan province, hijacked a taxi in a bid to escape last Tuesday. But he forgot one thing - he didn't know how to drive.

The 28-year-old man, armed with a knife, had robbed a drugstore and then kidnapped a toddler before forcibly getting into a taxi. The driver of the cab fled seeing the armed assailant, who tried in vain to start the vehicle.

Onlookers subdued the assailant till police arrived and arrested him.
