Chengdu's Chunxi Road witnesses an intense police vs. bandits showdown, triggering a wave of PS madness among netizens.

Everyone is familiar with the intense shootouts between police and gangsters, whether in movies or games, from the single-player game "CS" to the online games "Special Force" and "Sudden Strike OL". Whenever the police encounter bandits, bullets fly and battles rage.

However, on May 23rd, on Chengdu's Chunxi Road, a scene unfolded where a man wielding a dangerous-looking knife was met not with firearms to prevent accidental injury, but by someone armed with a mop.

This incident caused quite a stir online as many gamers couldn't resist getting involved in some parodying and photoshopping of the event. The "male knifeman" at the center of the event was extensively edited into various movie posters, even being equipped with all kinds of fantastic gear: from large axes and wands in Warcraft, to small steel forks in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and even Super Saiyan transformations in Dragon Ball...

The first six images are from the actual scene of the police-knifeman confrontation, while starting from the seventh image, they are parodies created by netizens.

The police officer held a stick as he confronted the "knifeman".
