The man, who was arrested at the scene, was unemployed and angry at society, the police said. A video circulated on Chinese social media platform Weibo showed people tying up the attacker with rope on a roadside pavement.
Violent crime is rare in China compared with many other countries, especially in major cities where security is tight, but there has been a series of knife and axe attacks in recent years, many targeting children.
In
April, a 28-year-old man who harbored a hatred of children having been
bullied at school stabbed to death seven Chinese middle school students
who were on their way from classes in the northwestern province of
Shaanxi.
Such attacks are often blamed on people with
mental illness or who have personal grievances. Knives are most commonly
used because gun controls are extremely strict in China.
