BEIJING - A knife-wielding
man stabbed two people to death
and injured another in downtown
Beijing Saturday, local police said.
The assailant also died from injuries
suffered while resisting police
arrest.
The man attacked
vehicle drivers and passengers with a
knife on a ramp of a road
near Guangqumen Bridge at about 2
p.m., the Beijing Municipal Public
Security Bureau said in a
statement.
Of the three he
injured, two died at hospital after
emergency medical treatment failed and
the other one was still under
treatment, the statement
said.
The attacker was besieged
inside a private car by police
officers and citizens at the scene
before suffering injuries while wielding
the knife to resist police arrest.
He was brought under control finally,
but later died at hospital from
injuries.
The assailant is yet
to be identified and police are
investigating the killing spree.
