Man stabs 28 children in China kindergarten attack

Twenty-eight children and three adults have been injured by a man with a knife at a kindergarten in eastern China, the third such attack in a month.

Officials said five of the injured were in a critical condition in hospital after the incident in Jiangsu province.

It follows a knife attack on Wednesday in the south of the country, in which 16 pupils and one teacher were injured.

Earlier that day, a doctor convicted of stabbing eight children to death last month in Fujian province was executed.

The alleged assailant in Thursday's attack in the city of Taixing in Jiangsu was a 47-year-old man. He was detained afterwards.

"The gate-keeper, teachers, and students were attacked. The injured are receiving treatment in hospital. We don't have any reports of deaths yet," an official with the Taixing city government told AFP news agency.

Expensive

Most of the children hurt in this latest incident are four year olds from the same class.

They were attacked as lessons got underway this morning, reports the BBC's Shanghai correspondent Chris Hogg.

China has witnessed several school attacks in recent years, most blamed on people with personal grudges or suffering from mental illness.

Since a spate of attacks in 2004, many schools have employed professional guards.

Our correspondent says the attacks on schools are unsettling for the Chinese and that this kind of violent crime is usually quite rare.

Already there are calls to step up security in and around educational institutions - but that would be expensive, our correspondent says.

In reality, he adds, there is probably little that can be done to prevent this kind of incident taking place.
