- BEIJING: Chinese media report police have formally arrested two drivers suspected of running over a toddler who was then ignored by passersby on a busy market street and later died.
The death of two-year-old Wang Yue gained widespread coverage and prompted soul-searching over declining morality.
The incident was captured in gruesome security camera footage and police were able to track down the van that first struck the child, as well as one that subsequently hit her as she lay bleeding on the road.
The Beijing News and other outlets on Sunday said police had concluded their initial investigation and ordered the two men formally arrested. The reports did not say what the men were being charged with. Calls to police in the southern city of Foshan rang unanswered.
