** On the 25th July, 1938, an Inspector of the Salt Revenue Office was fired
at, and wounded, by a male Chinese when alighting from a tram-car in Shanghai.
Anderson and Detective Sergeant Hillhouse gave chase. The would-be assassin
then fired at a Chinese police constable who, falling to the ground, fired one
shot at the assailant with effect. Anderson and Detective Sergeant Hillhouse
closed in on the assailant. Anderson being slightly in front, Detective
Sergeant Hillhouse was unable to fire. Anderson then jumped on the back of the
Chinese and began to grapple with the man, who managed to fire another round,
grazing the leg of Detective Sergeant Hillhouse, who manoeuvred for position
and fired two shots at the assailant, who then dropped his pistol and was
arrested.
