Three people were killed and 15 others injured in a knife attack at a suburban supermarket in Shanghai on Monday on the eve of China’s week-long National Day holiday, the latest in a series of stabbing incidents in major Chinese cities this year.
The assailant, a 37-year-old man surnamed Lin, has been detained, local police of Songjiang district said in a statement on Tuesday.
According to an initial investigation by police, Lin had travelled to Shanghai to vent his anger following a personal financial dispute.
The knife attack came one day before China’s National Day “Golden Week”, when holiday travel was expected to surge.
