Hero used wooden rod to fight stabber

The last person injured in the stabbings at the square of Guangzhou Railway Station on Tuesday was a man, surnamed Shan, who used a wooden rod to fight off his knife-wielding attacker.

Shan, 42, from Heilongjiang province, became well-known among locals after his heroism was published by local media.

"When the attacker moved, I also moved to block him so that he couldn't hurt others," Shan told Guangzhou-based Southern Metropolis Daily.
