(ANSA) – BEIJING, AUGUST 03 – Three people were killed and six more injured Wednesday after a man armed with a knife broke into an asylum in Jiangxi province, in south-east China. Described as a “gangster wearing a cap and a mask” attacked the private asylum in Anfu County, police said in a statement published on Weibo, the ‘Chinese Twitter’.
The killer has fled, and the police are chasing him. Such attacks are rare in China, a country that strictly prohibits citizens from possessing firearms, but in recent years there has been a series of mass stabbings. Last April, two children were killed and 16 others injured when a knife-wielding man entered a kindergarten in southern China. Most recently, four people were injured in a stabbing at a Shanghai hospital last month before the knife-wielding assailant was shot and stopped by police. Six people were killed and 14 injured after a knife-wielding man began hitting passers-by on a pedestrianized shopping street in Anqing, eastern China, in June last year. (HANDLE).
