Man Jailed for Spreading Rumors of a Zombie Attack in Guangzhou

At 11:30 pm on September 5, 2015, the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau published the following statement on its official Sina Weibo:
#Weibo Rumor Refutation# Just now Baby Shoes asked Little Editor whether or not there really was a female zombie biting people on Nantian Road last night? After Little Editor finished watching he found the video that was the setting for the background, and in fact they were from a movie! We ask that people do not believe this, and to not further spread this rumor~~and as for those so-called "zombie drugs": methcathinone and similar chemicals can produce strong hallucinations and abnormal psychological  conditions in those who consume them. But the effects produced are many and various. Cherish life, stay away from drugs.

#微辟谣#刚刚有童鞋问小编,昨晚南田路有女丧尸咬死人是不是真的?小编看完找到了背后的场景视频,其实是在拍戏嘛!请大家不要相信,也不要再传谣啦~~还有所谓的“丧尸药”:甲卡西酮及卡西酮类化学品会使食用者产生强烈的幻觉精神紊乱行为异常。但产生类似效果的远不只这一种。珍惜生命远离毒品。
On September 10, 2015, the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau published the following statement on its official Sina Weibo:
On September 6, 2015, Guangzhou police detained a Mr. Zhang for creating a rumor (male, Guangzhou resident, 21 years old). An investigation has determined that Mr. Zhang, hoping to show off and get attention from friends, used Weixin to spread a rumor that a video showing a so-called "female zombie" was factual. The police have now sentenced him to 10 days of administrative detention.

9月6日,广州警方抓获了谣言信息的制造者张某(男,广州人,21岁)。经审查,张某供述其为了炫耀和吸引朋友眼球,通过微信传播了一段所谓“女丧尸”的视频的事实(该视频实则为某电影的拍摄现场)。目前警方已依法对其做出行政拘留10天的处罚决定。
Below are screenshots posted by the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau showing the illegal content with the Chinese word for "False" (假) pasted on them.
