Police officers were puzzled after they chased a taxi they mistakenly thought was hijacked in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan province, on Sunday.

A man surnamed Sun accidentally pressed the cab's alarm, and attracted four groups of police officers at about 2 am.

When he saw the police, he sped up because he was driving his brother's taxi without a taxi license. Police thought he was being robbed or got hijacked.

He eventually fled the car and ran into a crossroad.
