Police say an elderly Chinese man has driven his car through a crowd of pedestrians outside a popular Beijing sports stadium, injuring eight people.

The Beijing police said in a statement today that the man was a city resident and had been angry about a court ruling against him.

The Beijing Times website said his car had the word "injustice" painted on it as it drove through the crowd today morning. The man was wearing a piece of fabric on his head bearing the same word.

His car finally came to a stop after slamming into other vehicles at the south gate of Workers' Stadium.
