28 Chinese pupils hurt in new knife attack

A KNIFE-wielding maniac has attacked a class of Chinese four-year-olds, injuring 28 children in the country’s third such rampage this month.

Xu Yuyuan, a jobless 47-year-old, burst into the Zhongxin school in the city of Taixing early on Wednesday, waving an eight-inch knife and stabbing a security guard who tried to stop him.

Five children were critically injured and two teachers were also hurt.
