A boy is treated in hospital after he was injured in a knife attack last Friday at the gate of a primary school in central China's Henan Province. |
However, some students said they got hurt in their classroom and teachers arrived too late to stop the attack. "The man broke the door, smashed the windows and rushed into our classroom," one boy said.
Where were they injured?
Cao said the students had been injured in the schoolyard. "Maybe students got injured and returned to their classrooms," Cao said.
Initial reports had said some were attacked as they arrived for class.
A suspect, Min Yingjun, 36, is in police custody. Fellow villagers told reporters they thought he was mentally ill. He had a short temper and a tendency to be violent.
A report in the Southwest Metropolitan Daily said he had been diagnosed with epilepsy when he was 16. Min's father said his son's condition had deteriorated this year. He said his son often ran off leaving the family unable to find him.
