As a policeman in the Chinese city of Chongqing , Long Keyi is well used to stopping traffic . But he caused a hold-up of a different kind recently while on duty for the city 's marathon . The race 's female runners thought that he was so good looking that they abandoned their race and surrounded him , battling for the chance to take a selfie with him . No escape : Long Keyi is surrounded in his car by admirers - forcing him to call for ( presumably less handsome ) back-up . Stopped in their tracks : Female runners take a break from the race to have a snap taken with the officer , who many said looked like the film star Wallace Chung . The 29-year-old was mobbed at the race in south-western China partly because many of the admirers thought he looked like a leading Chinese film star , according to the People 's Daily Online . Hundreds of admirers posted pictures online , with many pointing out his resemblance to actor Wallace Chung . Yuan Chung , 25 , said : ' I thought he looked just like the actor from Hong Kong , Wallace Chung , the guy who is in the news at the moment because of his latest role as a TV cop . ' The crowds became so big , the policeman was surrounded in his car as he tried to leave the sporting event . Chyou Teng , 26 , who posted a photo , said the furore distracted people from the race . Doppelganger : Many thought the officer looked like Chinese film star Wallace Chung ( pictured ) Mobbed : Huge crowds gather as women - and men - rush to take his picture at the marathon in China . Film star ? Long Keyi drew comparisons to popular actor Wallace Chung ( right ) with some even suggesting the officer was really the actor on a secret shoot . Already taken : Unfortunately for the women of Chongqing , Officer Long has recently got married . She said : ' I remember reading that some Kenyan runner was the winner but you did n't see him in the newspaper coverage , everybody was just going on about this policeman . 'He was very good natured about it though , and posed for the pictures quite happily . ' Race organisers in the Chongqing Municipality confirmed it had caused congestion with many runners wanting their picture taken alongside him . But Long 's colleagues said his new legion of fans would be left disappointed as he had recently married . Arresting : Marathon runners and supporters flock to take pictures of the handsome officer in south-western China . Fellow police officer Dewei Fu said : 'He only just got back on duty after getting married , so I do n't think his new wife will be too impressed . 'Anyway , it was getting a bit out of hand so he was taken off duty and replaced by another less good-looking colleague . '
The handsome police officers caused delays as reporters stop to take photos . Many believe he is the ' double ' of Chinese actor Wallace Chung . He caused such a delay he overshadowed the actual incident in reality . But colleagues say they are out of business as he was recently married .
