In China, a good samaritan tried to stop a fight between train stewards and a disgruntled passenger.  He paid for it with his life.

According to more than 20 witnesses, after the good samaritan intervened more train employees showed up, including the train’s conductor.  Apparently they mistook the good samaritan as the passenger who was causing the fight.

The samaritan was grabbed by the neck and beaten about the head as he was hauled off the train.  An ambulance was called, but he was dead by the time it arrived.  No word on what will happen to the train employees, but police have taken at least 20 sworn witness statements.
