According to the police, at least 2 people have been killed and more than 21 people have been injured in the knife attack that took place in China's southwestern Yunnan province.
"The incident occurred at a local hospital and as of 13:20... more than 10 people have been wounded or killed," Xinhua agency reported. The attack is believed to have taken place in China's southwestern Yunnan province, which is near the borders with Myanmar.
Images published by the state-run news website The Paper appeared to show a man waving a knife at another man holding a stick in a hospital lobby, as well as police officers arriving on the scene.
"It happened around 11 in the morning... it's still a bit chaotic, they're still determining the numbers," a local resident told The Paper.
A guy with a history of mental instability assaulted individuals with a knife in Yunnan last August, killing two and injuring seven others. A month prior, six people were killed and one injured in a kindergarten stabbing in southern China's Guangdong province.
