Meat Cleaver-Wielding Attacker Stabs Children On Chinese Playground
A man armed with a meat cleaver rushed onto a playground and slashed eight children during a manic attack at a Chinese elementary school.
Via NY Daily News reports:
Horrifying photos of the frenzied chase at the Macheng school showed the man wielding the knife above his head as he lunged at one child.
No one was killed during the rampage, but eight students — believed to be between 6 and 8 years old — were taken to a local hospital, the London Evening Standard reported. One of the students was seriously injured.
Chinese police arrested the suspect, 35-year-old Chen Zuihang, at the scene, the South China Morning Post reported. Police have not determined a motive.
In 2010, seven students and two teachers were killed during another meat cleaver attack at a school near Hanzhong City. In 2012, another 22 schoolchildren were stabbed at a Chengping school.
Following these kind of horrific stabbings, Chinese governments have urged all schools to hire security guards, the Chinese newspaper reported.
