Police in Guangzhou, southern China, have apprehended a 35-year-old man suspected of wounding multiple individuals in a knife attack outside a hot pot restaurant. The assailant, whose surname is Li, carried out the assault in Panyu district at 5:20 pm on Monday, according to a police statement released later that evening. Several people were reportedly injured, though none suffered life-threatening wounds, though the exact number of victims and the motive remain undisclosed.
Footage circulating online depicted the scene, showing at least three victims with facial injuries, and a man in a face mask stabbing a woman in a restaurant. Additional video captured by CCTV reportedly displayed police rushing into the scene, with pedestrians fleeing in panic. Authorities are currently investigating the incident.
China has experienced several high-profile knife attacks in recent years. In May, an attack at a restaurant in Shanghai left three people, including two Japanese citizens, injured. In November 2024, a former student from a vocational college in eastern China killed eight individuals and injured 17 after failing his exams.
