A Chinese national, Hu Youping, who tried to stop an assailant attacking two Japanese people at a bus stop in Suzhou, East China's Jiangsu Province, was stabbed multiple times by the suspect and tragically passed away despite res-cue efforts. Local authorities in Suzhou have submitted a request to the city government to award Hu the title of "Suzhou City Bravery Model."
On Monday afternoon, a knife-wielding individual attacked people at a bus station in Suzhou resulting in one Chinese and two Japanese people being injured. The suspect, a 52-year-old male surnamed Zhou, who recently arrived in the city and was unemployed, was apprehended at the scene, Suzhou police said on Tuesday.
Hu, born in 1969, noticed someone attacking others with a knife at the Xindi Center bus stop on Tayuan Road in Suzhou High-Tech Zone around 4 pm on Monday.
She immediately rushed forward to stop the assailant without regard for her own safety. Hu was stabbed multiple times by the suspect and unfortunately passed away despite rescue efforts.
In the face of a severe threat to others' lives, Hu bravely stepped forward, disregarding her own safety, and fought against illegal and criminal acts, preventing further harm.
