A grudge-bearing man stabbed at least 12 children with a curry knife at a kindergarten in China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
The attacker “sneaked into” the school in the afternoon and stabbed children in his child’s class while the students were eating, Pingxiang City local police said.
Three seriously injured children have been sent to a hospital in Nanning, the regional capital, for treatment. None of the children have life threatening injuries.
The suspect was Qin Peng’an, a man from Nanshan village that is under the jurisdiction of Pingxiang city. The suspect told staff at Xiaocongzai Kindergarten that he was picking up his child, state media reported.
The suspect is in police custody. Primary investigation revealed that the man felt bullied in the village so he stabbed the children out of anger and revenge.
In recent years, China has witnessed several incidents in which people with vendetta against society were targeting school children.
