The suspect in a knife rampage that
left 23 students and an elderly woman
wounded on Friday was influenced by
rumors that the world was about to
end, a local government report said.
Min Yongjun, earlier identified by
authorities as Min Yingjun, 36, a
villager from Wenshu township in
Guangshan county in Central China's
Henan province, is being questioned
after the students at a primary school
and an 85-year-old woman living
nearby were slashed on Friday
morning.
Min told police he attacked the
children after hearing rumors about
the end of the world, said a report the
county government released on its
website on Monday. The report also
said Min has epilepsy.
According to some readings of the
Mayan calendar, the world will end on
Dec 21. Police nationwide have
warned people to be wary of "end of
the world scams".
