Chutian Metropolis Daily News (reporter Xinglan Chen) Around midnight yesterday morning, a taxi driver from Qichun was robbed by three men in the suburban area of Huanggang's Sanhua Town and was stabbed twice. Enduring excruciating pain, the driver pressed his bleeding chest with one hand while steering the wheel with the other, driving for a kilometer before successfully seeking help.
In the afternoon yesterday, I met Master Wang Hongliang at the inpatient department of the Central Hospital of Huangshi. He had just been transferred from the intensive care ward to a regular ward. Master Wang recalled that at around 9 p.m. on the 21st, he picked up three male passengers in Qichun county town. The one sitting in the front row was about 30 years old, while the two sitting in the back were in their early 20s. All spoke with a Xishui accent. The three first said they were going to the Qichun Hotel, then they said they were going to Xishui county town, and later claimed they were returning to their rural hometown in Sanhua Town, gradually luring Master Wang to a cotton field in Sanhua Town. At around midnight yesterday, seeing the darkness all around, the two in the back seat grabbed Master Wang's neck, while the man in the front held a weapon against him. Just as Master Wang shouted, the man in the front stabbed him twice in the chest, snatched his wallet, and searched his body for a mobile phone.
In a critical moment, Master Wang quickly hid his mobile phone under the seat cushion. The three couldn't find it and got out of the car. Master Wang managed to press his wound with his left hand, while using his right hand to hold the steering wheel and drive back. After driving about a kilometer, he saw a house ahead where villagers were working overtime to build a house. He struggled to stop the car, stumbled over to the villager, handed him the phone for help. The kind-hearted villager immediately reported the incident and helped him bandage his wound with a cloth strip.
The police officers from the Sanhua Police Station quickly arrived at the scene and sent Master Wang to the town hospital for emergency treatment. By this time, Master Wang was already covered in blood and had fallen into a coma. He was then transferred to the Central Hospital of Huangshi for further rescue. Upon examination, Master Wang had been stabbed twice; one stab was below the clavicle, and the other had injured the heart valve. After several hours of emergency treatment, he is now out of danger.
Xishui police have intervened in the investigation of this case.
