HONG KONG — Three people were killed and 15 others were injured in a knife attack at a supermarket in Shanghai on Monday evening, local police said, in the latest of a series of such stabbings in China.
A 37-year-old suspect, surnamed Lin, was apprehended at the scene in Shanghai’s Songjiang district shortly after the attack.
Lin went to Shanghai and carried out the attack “to vent his anger due to personal economic disputes,” police said.
In June, a knife attack at a public park in the northeastern Chinese city of Jilin injured four U.S. university instructors, none of them critically.
In 2022, a man stabbed 15 people in a hospital in Shanghai, severely wounding four minors.
