“A 10-year-old student at a Japanese school in Shenzhen was stabbed by a man about 200 meters from the school gate,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Xian said.
The student was immediately taken to the hospital and the perpetrator was arrested on the spot, he added.
A police report from the Shenzhen area, where the Japanese school is located, said the attack on the child took place at around 8am local time.
The suspect is 44 years old and his last name is Zhong, the same source notes, but does not mention a possible motive for the attack.
Neither the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs nor the police report mention the nationality of the child.
“The case is still under investigation. China will continue to take effective measures to protect all foreign nationals in the country,” Lin noted.
The incident follows a similar one in June when a man attacked a bus used by a Japanese school in the eastern Chinese city of Suzhou, resulting in the death of a Chinese national who tried to shield himself from the attacker. a Japanese mother and her child.
Today is the 93rd anniversary of the so-called Mukden Incident, which was orchestrated by the Japanese military and led to Japan’s invasion of its neighbor. Historians estimate that some 14 million Chinese died and another 100 million became refugees during the ensuing war.
