Police in Harbin, capital of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, confirmed on Thursday that a train's derailing in the province on Sunday morning was caused by sabotage of rail tracks.

The Harbin Railways Public Security Bureau said on Thursday that it has arrested a suspect, but declined to give the suspect's identity or a motivation for the sabotage.

The K7034 train from Heihe to Harbin derailed in Hailun County of Suihua City at 3:17 a.m. on Sunday, injuring 15 people. None of the injuries were life-threatening.

Six of the train cars derailed and overturned on the slope of the rail bed.

Police are still investigating the case.
