A man killed three people and wounded 15 in a knife attack at a supermarket in China’s Shanghai on Monday night, police said Tuesday.
Soon after the incident, the Chinese police arrested the 37-year-old man surnamed Lin at the crime scene. He was taken into custody, the local Songjiang police branch said in a statement on Tuesday.
The police further informed that the people who died in the stabbing attack succumbed to their injuries at the hospital. The injured individuals are not believed to be in danger.
According to preliminary enquiries, Lin may have gone to Shanghai to “vent his anger” after a private financial disagreement, according to authorities.
The investigation is underway.
