A 21-year-old student went on a stabbing spree in Wuxi, a city in eastern China, on Saturday evening, killing eight people and injuring 17 others. Local police confirmed the attack in a statement but have not disclosed a possible motive. The injured are receiving treatment, and authorities are investigating the incident.
Context of recent violence
The stabbing spree occurred just days after another tragedy in Zhuhai, where a hit-and-run incident outside a sports center killed 35 people and injured 43. These back-to-back incidents have raised concerns over public safety in urban areas.
Further details on the Wuxi attack and the perpetrator’s background are awaited as authorities continue their investigations.
