A stabbing at a nursery in China resulted in at least three fatalities and six injuries.
This morning, August 3, police in Jiangxi posted news of the incident on Weibo, China’s equivalent of Twitter.
According to the post, a “gangster” wearing a peaked cap and a mask stormed the private kindergarten in Anfu County and attacked those inside.
The ages of the victims have not yet been confirmed.
Officials released the name of their initial suspect – a 48-year-old local man called Liu Mouhui.
Police said Mouhui is still at large and escaped after carrying out the attack.
In unconfirmed videos of the scene shared on social media, a police officer can be seen carrying a child in his arms from a patrol car to an ambulance.
