The reporter learned from the People's Government of Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province that Hu Youping, the injured person who stepped forward to stop the criminal suspect from attacking women and children in the "June 24" knife attack incident in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, died of his injuries on the 26th. Suzhou City has recognized his courageous behavior and is posthumously awarding him the title of "Model of Righteous Acts of Bravery" in Suzhou City according to procedures.
At about 16:00 on June 24, a knife attack occurred at the Xindi Center bus stop on Tayuan Road in Suzhou High-tech Zone, injuring three people, one of whom was Chinese and two of whom were Japanese. The suspects were quickly subdued. The Chinese victim, Hu Youping, was seriously injured in the process of stopping the suspect from committing a crime. He was sent to the hospital for rescue but unfortunately died on the 26th. Among the two Japanese personnel, one is being treated in the hospital and is not in danger of life; the other was discharged from the hospital on the same day.
According to the statement of the Japanese adult victim, when the suspect was committing the crime, Hu Youping stopped the suspect and was stabbed and fell to the ground, and the son of the Japanese adult victim took the opportunity to escape. Citizens who witnessed the scene saw that Hu Youping first grabbed the suspect and then hugged the suspect from behind. The suspect stabbed her with his backhand, causing her to fall to the ground and continued to chase and stab. Citizens, passing drivers and patrol officers subdued her on the road. The witness said: "If the suspect had not been stopped at the time, more people would have been injured."
