A man in Fuzhou, the capital city of southeastern China's Fujian province, was detained on Monday for disturbing the order in a bank. Dissatisfied with the bank's service, the man spent over an hour first depositing and then withdrawing 1 cent.

The 42-year-old man, surnamed Hu, came to the bank to activate mobile banking for his nephew, but was told by bank staff that the service must be activated by the card holder due to capital security concerns.

After his request was refused, Hu began to make a fuss, but was quickly stopped by police. After the police left, however, Hu decided to deposit and then withdraw just 1 cent at the counter 50 times. The whole process took more than an hour, during which time other clients at the bank were forced to wait.

Bank employees eventually called the police again, and Hu was removed from the premises.

Wei Bao, a lawyer from a local law firm, said that Hu's behavior had disrupted the order of the bank, and Hu could potentially receive an administrative punishment on the basis of endangering public security.
