Children knifed in daycare unit

EIGHT children were hurt when a female staff member at a daycare centre for the children of migrant workers in China’s eastern city of Shanghai went on a stabbing spree.

The attack took place at a temporary daycare facility in an eastern suburb.

A woman who has worked at the centre for several years used a box cutter to slash at children, all between three and four years old, the newspaper quoted witnesses as saying.
