HONG KONG: A three-year-old boy was taken hostage by an AIDS-infected drug
addict in southern China who poured blood over his face and into his mouth
and ears, a news report said yesterday.
The toddler was grabbed by the addict, 32, who tested positive for HIV in
July when police tried to arrest him for frightening neighbours into giving
him money for drugs, the South China Morning Post reported.
The drug addict held the boy for three hours in a standoff with police in
Shenzhen, using a knife to cut himself and spill blood onto the child.
The boy was rushed to hospital where he was found to have several small
wounds and will now undergo HIV tests to see if he has contracted the virus.
The addict had been terrorising neighbours into giving him money after
discovering he was HIV positive and grabbed the boy after he was reported to
police for extortion. — dpa
