Authorities in southern China said Monday that an attacker killed six people and wounded another at a kindergarten.
Media reports say the dead include three children, two parents and a teacher, and that a knife was used in the attacks.
The attack took place at 7:40 a.m. in the city of Lianjiang in Guangdong province.
Police said a 25-year-old suspect with the surname Wu was in custody.
China has strict gun laws, but the country has seen several mass stabbings in recent years, including some at schools.
In August 2022, an attacker killed three people and wounded six others at a kindergarten in the southern province of Jiangxi.
A man killed two children and wounded 16 other people during an April 2021 stabbing attack at a kindergarten in Guangxi province.
