Seven people were wounded, some critically, in an attack in eastern China on Saturday night that police said was aimed at revenge at the alleged attacker’s former wife.
Police said that during the attack in downtown Nanjing, Jiangsu province, a 41-year-old suspect rammed his former wife, her friend and a pedestrian with a rented car at about 9 pm.
He then stabbed the woman’s friend and passers-by who tried to stop him, police said.
Officers said the suspect fled the scene and later detained after attempting suicide.
Seven victims and the suspect were hospitalized.
The former wife was in intensive care, while her friend and the five others were in conditions ranging from critical to severe.
None of the wounds were life-threatening, police said.
