The city's Public Security Department also reported in a statement that the two injured men are not in danger of dying.
The suspect, a 35-year-old man with the surname Huang, was arrested by the police, according to the same note, which states that an investigation into the incident is underway.

On the same day, at least two people died and four others were injured after being attacked by a woman with a knife at a primary school in the city of Guixi, in Jiangxi province, also in the center of the country.

On May 7, several people died after a man attacked people with a knife at a hospital in Yunnan province, in the south of the country.

Although China is generally a safe country, attacks in public places - such as schools - are relatively common. Chinese law strictly prohibits the sale and possession of firearms, so attacks are usually carried out with knives, homemade explosives or by running over.

Last July, a man attacked a kindergarten in the city of Lianjiang, in Guangdong province, in the southeast of the country, killing six people and injuring another.
