Six people, including three children, have been killed in a kindergarten stabbing in China’s south-eastern Guangdong province.
Police said they have arrested a 25-year-old man with the surname Wu in Lianjiang town.
The other victims are a teacher and two parents, AFP reported, quoting a local city official. One other person is also injured.
The man was arrested at 08:00, and police have called this a case of “intentional assault”.
A storeowner who works near the kindergarten told the BBC that the surrounding area has been sealed off.
The attack has sparked widespread conversation across Chinese social media platforms, with many users responding in shock.
Violent crime is relatively rare in China, but the country has seen a spate of knife attacks in recent years, including several in schools.
