3月29日，当地新闻报道称北京当日“天气平静”，但X这一被封禁的社交平台上传出的多段视频显示，位于北京西南方丰台区近郊的方山县集贸市场（Fangshan）出现混乱：一名男子疑似驾驶工程车冲进摊位。画面中还可见一具尸体倒在地上。 这些视频尚未经过官方核实，但其内容与官方叙事形成明显反差。

次日记者抵达现场时，现场周边有几十名警员和佩戴中共志愿者红袖标的本地志愿者，附近还停有一辆SWAT特警车。警方人员表示若真有袭击，“精神病”可能是原因，肇事者“想必”已被拘押，同时拦住记者向居民提问。 同时报道还对比了2月外部案例：3月28日英国一名男子驾车冲向行人，致7人受伤；而中国近两年内已至少出现8起持刀或驾车袭击家长和学生的案例，折合每年约4起。

官方不承认事故发生，反而通过沉默与阻拦控制信息，但网民在微信下的间接评论暗示“大家心里有数”：有人公开质疑“今天是不是发生了更大的事”，有人检索后称“整网都没看到任何消息”，随后又贴出一张工程车照片。 这组信息共同指向一种趋势：面对社会性暴力事件，中国在传播层面更强调“有效控制”而非透明披露。

On March 29, local reports described a calm day in the capital, while videos on X (a blocked platform) showed a market in Fangshan, southwest Beijing, in apparent disorder after a man rammed a construction vehicle through stalls, with one image showing a body lying on the ground. These videos were unverified, yet they sharply contradicted the official narrative.

The next day, reporters found the site ringed by dozens of police officers and local volunteers in Communist Party-style red armbands, with a China SWAT vehicle nearby. A police officer said that if an attack had occurred mental illness was likely and the attacker was probably in custody, and then prevented questions to local residents from being asked.

Authorities continued to refuse acknowledgement, while online comments suggest public awareness: one WeChat user asked whether “something bigger happened today,” and another said they found nothing on the internet, then posted a construction-vehicle photo. The broader pattern was highlighted by two numbers: in China at least eight knife- or car-based attacks on parents and children near schools were reported over the past two years (about four per year), and another violent incident on March 28 in Britain injured seven pedestrians.
