A female taxi passenger was left bewildered and alone when her driver parked the car next to a graveyard and fled into the night.

The woman, surnamed Wang, called police.


The taxi driver, from Baodi in Tianjin municipality, said he thought she was a ghost because she had "blood" all over her face.

"As I approached the graveyard on Sunday night, I braked hard. I looked back at the passenger and saw she had blood all over her face," the driver, surnamed Li, said. "I was scared witless - thinking she was a ghost - so I ran away."

Wang said: "I was rummaging in my grocery bag looking at what I had bought when he braked suddenly. I had just opened a bottle of tomato sauce and it exploded all over my face."
