According to a statement from the Yixing Public Security Bureau, a 21-year-old former student identified by his surname Xu is believed to be responsible for the attack.

Details of the Incident

Xu, who graduated from the college earlier this year, reportedly carried out the attack due to grievances over not receiving his graduation certificate and dissatisfaction with his internship pay.

Police said Xu confessed to the crime after being apprehended at the scene. Efforts are said to be ongoing to treat the injured and conduct a thorough investigation.

A Recent String of Tragedies

This attack comes just days after a deadly vehicle rampage in Zhuhai, a city in southern China. On Monday, a 62-year-old man, identified only as Fan, drove a small off-road vehicle into pedestrians exercising at a sports center, killing 35 people.

Fan was detained after attempting to flee the scene and was found to have self-inflicted severe neck injuries. Police cited a financial dispute stemming from his divorce as a potential motive.
