Six of the injured sustained minor injuries while attempting to intervene in the attack, local public security officials reported. Police arrested a 45-year-old woman suspect, identified as Pan, and launched an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the attack.

Mass attacks are rare in China, a country that prohibits its citizens from owning firearms. However, there has been a recent surge in knife attacks. In early May, a knife attack at a hospital in Yunnan Province (southwest China) left two people dead and 21 injured. 

In August 2023, also in Yunnan, a man with a history of mental illness carried out a knife attack that resulted in two fatalities and seven injuries.
