According to a statement from the local police, a 21-year-old man was detained at Wuxi Yixing Arts and Crafts Vocational and Technical College in the city of Wuxi at around 18:30 local time ( 10:30 GMT ).
According to the speech, he admitted to carrying out the assault after failing to obtain his diploma according to “poor exam results” and being unsatisfied with his internship pay.
He confessed to his violence “without hesitation”, authorities said.
They continued,” An analysis was being conducted and attempts were being made to manage the aftermath.”
The attack follows an incident on Monday where at least 35 people were killed when a driver ploughed a car into crowds at a stadium in the southern city of Zhuhai.
The event sparked concerns about a recent deluge of domestic violence in the nation, despite the police’s claim that the driver was angry with a divorce settlement.
On social media, there have been discussions about the social phenomenon of “taking revenge on society”, where individuals act on personal grievances by attacking strangers.
