Nine injured in south China knife attack
Nine people were rushed to the hospital after a man stabbed them at a grocery store in south China yesterday, state media reported, the latest in a series of knifings that has unnerved the country.
A man in his 20s attacked several people at the entrance to a supermarket in Nanning, the capital of China's Guangxi region, the official Xinhua news agency said.
The China News Service said the assailant, surnamed Zhou, carried out the attack because of a personal dispute and that he had been captured by police. Two of the victims appeared to be seriously injured, it said.
Violent crime is rare in China compared with many other countries, but there have been a series of knife attacks in recent years, many on school children.
