Five children hurt in fresh attack on school in China
Five young children have been hurt at a school in north-eastern China after a man attacked them with a hammer before killing himself.
The incident was the third attack in China's schools in three days.
The man, said to be a local farmer, grabbed two children before setting himself on fire at the pre-school in Shandong province's Weifang city.
The children were pulled to safety, and all five - plus an injured teacher - were said to be stable in hospital.
China is reeling from a spate of apparent copy-cat attacks in schools.
On Thursday, 28 children - most of them aged around four - and three adults were attacked by an unemployed man wielding a knife at a nursery school in Jiangsu province, eastern China. Five of the children were taken to hospital in a critical condition.
And a day earlier, some 15 pupils and a teacher were wounded by a former teacher - who was on sick leave - at their primary school in Guangdong province.
Earlier on Wednesday, a doctor convicted of stabbing eight children to death in Fujian province in March was executed...
