The incident reportedly occurred on Monday.

The driver of the car was identified as a 62-year-old man.
His surname was identified as Fan.
“Officers found Fan self-harming with a knife in the vehicle, immediately stopped him and sent him to hospital for treatment. Due to severe neck injuries, Fan is currently unconscious, still undergoing emergency treatment and unable to be interrogated,” police said in the statement as quoted by CNN.

Fan has been detained on suspicion of “endangering public safety,” according to the statement.
