A deadly knife attack in eastern China has killed at least six people and left 14 wounded, in what was the third such indiscriminate assault on civilians by the disgruntled citizens in recent weeks.
A 25-year-old unemployed man named Wu from Huaining county attacked the civilians on Saturday to vent out his anger as he was going through family problems, local officials in Anqing city in Anhui province said.
'He killed out of anger, because of family troubles and pessimism,” the municipal government said in a statement.
As of Sunday, six victims of the attack were dead and 14 others were being treated for injuries. Videos circulating on the internet show several pedestrians wounded and covered in blood on a walkway along Renmin Road in the city centre, as well as multiple bloodstains on the ground.
The suspect was subdued and taken away from the scene by four police officers.
