Knife attack at China train station leaves 9 injured

None

At least two assailants armed with knives attacked people at a train station in southern China on Friday, injuring nine, and police fatally shot one of the suspects, officials said.

 

The second suspect was captured, police in the city of Guangzhou said in a statement. The incident was still under investigation and a motive has not been determined, police said.

 

A knife attack at a train station in the southern city of Kunming about a year ago claimed 29 lives. Authorities blamed separatists from the western province of Xinjiang.

 

China has also suffered a spate of knife attacks on schoolchildren carried out by people lashing out over personal problems.
