A MAN was arrested on Friday for dressing up as a zombie and scaring people on a Metro train.

The incident happened on October 27, when the 31-year-old, surnamed He, boarded a Line 2 train bound for Xujingdong at the Jing’an Temple station. He was dressed in a black jacket and jeans, and had fake blood on his face. His “attacks” caused mayhem among terrified passengers, several of whom called police. The man was detained four days later, police said. He said he staged the prank, which was filmed by an accomplice, to promote his website.
