One persons has been killed and 12 people have been injured in an attack by a knife-wielding man in a busy shopping mall in the Chinese capital, Xnhua reported.
The person killed in the Sunday attack at Joy City, a mall in Beijing's Xidan district, was a woman who succumbed to her injuries in hospital, Beijing’s Public Security Bureau said in a brief statement on its official microblog page. It added that injuries suffered by 12 other victims were not life-threatening.
Police said the 35-year-old male attacker had personal grievance. Authorities identified him only by his surname, Zhu, saying he carried out the attack to “vent his personal discontent.”
