The model plane is shattered into pieces after being hit by the high-speed train.
A man has been detained after operating a model plane that forced a high-speed train to stop in north China's Hebei Province, police said Saturday.
The man, surnamed Pang, was testing the home-made model plane in late August in Luanxian County, when the plane fell onto the high-speed railway line connecting Beijing and Qinhuangdao, a coastal city in Hebei, said a police officer with Beijing Railway Police Bureau.
The bureau is responsible for railway and train security in Beijing, Hebei and Tianjin.
The G2604 train was forced to stop on the line and was delayed for 22 minutes, the officer said.
Low-altitude flying objects, such as kites and balloons, are banned within 500 meters of railway lines in China. Violators will be detained and may face criminal charges.
