A Chinese man was detained after he posted an online bomb threat on a social networking website, police said Saturday.

The man wrote in the message that he was going to blow up a Bentley car owned by a local businessman, Xinhua reported.

Police in the city of Liuzhou traced the post to an Internet cafe and arrested a man surnamed Jiang Tuesday. He has been in police custody for five days now, Xinhua reported.

Jiang said he did not know the car owner and had no plans to commit the crime.

He told police that he made the threat because the car owner drove too "aggressively".
