China's school incident raises questions about recent public safety events
A car hit people near school in Changde city causing multiple injuries this tuesday. This event follows two other serious public attacks in China during past weeks
In south Chinaʼs Changde city a white-colored SUV crashed into people outside primary school causing several injuries (none life-threatening) this tuesday morning. Police detained a 39-year old male suspect but didnt share details about incident cause
The event happened when students were entering school: young kids ran inside shouting for help. Video footage shows at-least five people including a student with backpack lying on narrow street near schools entrance. Local residents caught the suspect and police officers hand-cuffed him on-spot
This incident follows two other public attacks that happened about ten days ago: in Zhuhai city where a car-crash killed 35 people and injured 43 others; and in Wuxi where a former student attacked people at vocational college killing eight
The hand of strictness can never be loosened
Chinese authorities increased security measures in main cities:
* Added extra police patrols
* Put-up new street barriers
* Started checking high-risk areas more often
Social media users discuss these events but many posts get removed quick. One Weibo user wrote: “Why are such incidents happening more-and-more frequently lately and always involving students? What has happened to society now“
