Six people, including three children, have been killed and one injured in a stabbing at a kindergarten in southern China.
The attack took place in Lianjiang in Guangdong province on Monday, said a spokeswoman for the city government.
“The victims include one teacher, two parents and three students… and one suspect has been arrested,” she told the AFP news agency.
The suspect – a 25-year-old man with the family name Wu – was arrested 20 minutes later.
Police have classified the case as “intentional assault”, the BBC reported.
The incident was the top-trending discussion on the social media platform Weibo, with 130 million views as of 12.20pm.
China has seen a number of stabbing attacks in schools in recent years, despite government efforts to improve security.
