Crowd tells man who held knife to his neck to get on with it(Photos)

A jeering crowd in China urged a hostage-taker to kill himself after he let his victim go and held knives up to his own throat instead.

According to Mailonline, Gong Tseng, 30, had been holding his cousin Cui Meng, 29, hostage at knifepoint after a family dispute broke out in the city Chongqing, in southern China.

Police managed to persuade Tseng to release Meng after a two-hour standoff, but when he turned the knives on himself the crowd lost patience.
