Beijing: Police said Tuesday a man was in custody after crashing a car outside a primary school in a central Chinese city, injuring multiple children.
China has witnessed a spate of deadly incidents in recent months -- from mass stabbings to car rammings -- a rare development for a country with a proud reputation for public security.
The issue has prompted soul-searching about the state of society, with some despairing about why an increasing number of people seem willing to "take revenge" on random civilians.
Many initial videos of Tuesday's incident already appeared to have been removed from China's tightly controlled social media platforms, echoing other mass casualty events.
State news agency Xinhua reported that "multiple students were injured", while state broadcaster CCTV said the "specific casualties" were still being investigated.
