A man with a knife injured 16 children and two teachers, two of whom were seriously injured. The suspect has been arrested.

Netizens have been talking about the incident, condemning the man for attacking the toddlers with no hands. “It’s terrible, how can you do it to young children who have no ability to fight back.”

A net rumor said, “Three children died on the spot, sent to the hospital without resuscitation, six children died, the kindergarten is next to the government.” There are several other online sources that are consistent with this information.

“Boiling Point Video” reported that Xinfeng town government staff said that the incident did cause casualties, but did not disclose the specific deaths and injuries.

There are also netizens who say, “Whether such people are mentally ill or not, they should be criminally punished, not because of the so-called mental illness, so he can not be sentenced.”

According to the swirling video report, the Xinfeng Town Police Station said the suspect had mental problems.

But some netizens suspect: “Not mental illness! All of them are chopped to the head, on purpose! The knife is fatal.” “This is mental illness? And only pick children to stab! Is this mental illness?”

There are also netizens who question, “I have never understood the question, why the mentally ill can be amnestied for hurting people. Every time there is a hacking incident is suspected of mental illness, just because he is sick?”
