A truck broke into a government compound and ran straight onto the steps to Taiwan leader Ma Ying-jeou's office building, but was stopped by the bulletproof steel door Saturday morning, CCTV reported.

The 41-year-old male driver surnamed Zhang fell into a coma after the hit. Ma Ying-jeou was not in the building.

Zhang is now mentally unstable and has refused to answer questions. But police said Zhang has a criminal record, and preliminary investigations suggest he crashed the truck on purpose.
