An old man in Lanzhou, capital of Gansu province, appalled by the lawlessness on the road near his house, chased and damaged 30 vehicles that broke the signal last Wednesday night.

Right in front of the 70-year-old man's house is a busy traffic junction. He tried in vain to cross it as vehicles refused to even slow down for pedestrians on a red light.

Angry, he began smashing the cars that broke the signal.

Police intervened and persuaded the man to return home, saying his actions, though reasonable, were unlawful.
