Drunk, jobless man barges into Mongolia child care centre
May 20th, 2010 - 8:18 am ICT by IANSBeijing, May 20 (IANS) A 48-year-old jobless man, drunk and armed with a knife and a revolver, barged into a child care centre in Mongolia and started looking inside the closets before he was overpowered by a worker.
Zhang Zhanlin, 48, drank a lot of alcohol and barged into an after-class child care centre armed with a 10-cm-long knife and a home-made revolver loaded with five bullets with an aim to commit robbery, in Baotou city in Mongolia, police said Wednesday.
There were only a couple of primary school students at the centre when Zhang sneaked in at around 5 p.m. Monday, Zhang Ming, an officer with the Kunlun district police department, said, adding that no one was hurt in the incident.
“Zhang Zhanlin looked in two closets at the centre but found nothing. He was later wrestled to the ground by a male worker of the centre who happened to come back,” Zhang Ming was quoted as saying by Xinhua.
The intruder later said the loaded gun was not his and that he had found it at a local park.
