Eight people were killed and 17 others injured when a 21-year-old student went on a stabbing spree in China’s eastern city of Wuxi on Saturday evening, police said in a statement.

The incident comes just days following an hit-and-run incident where thirty-five people were killed and 43 others injured after a car drove into a group of people outside a sports centre in China’s southern city of Zhuhai.
